Thank you everyone, truly. I appreciate this community so much.
Another facet that makes this even more awful is that my cousins are black and my aunt was their only black relative in this country. I hate that they have to grow up without their one tie to their African heritage and growing up without that guidance that we as their white family just cannot give in the same way. Of course we will all rally behind my uncle to help him with the kids but we simply cannot do it the way their mom could. It's just...its tragic in so many respects.

Y'all. So the dentist doesn't want to pull it. For the next 6 weeks we have to: cut all his food into tiny pieces because he can't bite with his front teeth, watch for abcesses, take him for a dental check up next week and every 2 weeks after for a while, and occasionally clean the area with peroxide. We dealt with something similar with DD. She fractured the top jaw bone because she whacked the front teeth so hard the teeth were pushed back and the roots pushed into the bone. After her fall we ended up at the children's er and had follow up with plastic surgery and then later the dentist. It was a bit of a PITA with the food, but it was fine and her teeth were fine. I was a little surprised they didn't turn gray. Of course as soon as she got adult teeth in the front she fell again and chipped one so she's a mess ETA: as much of a PITA it seems like now, I think it's better if they can save the teeth. The "tooth hole" as DD calls it can get infected, it can effect the adult teeth, etc

Adding to the fuck cancer train. We just found out that a mom of our boys friends died yesterday of breast cancer. I didn't realize how sick she was. We hadn't seen each other much because of covid, but she had posted pretty positive things two weeks ago, so i thought it wasn't too bad.
I am sad, but I'm angry too. She chose not to pursue traditional medical treatment. And now she's dead and her little boys don't have a mom. And I'm having lots of feels about the whole thing.

I am so sorry willow. Watching a loved one fight cancer is so difficult, but being so young makes it even more so. Keeping you and the family in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️

The 9/11 stuff is too much for me today. I’m just at capacity emotionally and can’t take that on.
Today is the first fall baseball game for DS. I don’t think his team is very good but hopefully they match the competition level for the teams they are playing. This is our first time in this league so I’m not sure what to expect. It’s a good opportunity for DS though because two of the best team members from his summer league team are playing on invite only teams so he gets to move up on the team in leadership and position. The position he’s playing is the one I hope he can play more going forward and he didn’t get to practice much of it in the summer. Fingers crossed it goes well.

Regarding SB8 in TX: I received an email update from clinic access support network. It sounds like they are not saying much about giving rides. But they will be training for the hotline, social media, and new trainers. They are also looking for someone who loves TikTok! My hours of scrolling might be paying off!

So I usually do scholastic books, but not many families participate. I am sure many don't have the extra money to do so. I posted a fb status asking family and friends to consider sponsoring a student in my class for the year. Since the have $1 books each month, $10 donation could provide each student a book for every month. I only needed $100, but as of this morning, I had $360 in donations. My H woke up to me crying. ❤️
