Really pissed about all of that. Everything is such a fucking mess.
AGREED.
I'm also impressed that apparently no one in my church choir or family has covid this week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was just thinking about Maria and hoping she was doing well.

I got a text from Mom. My cousin J has been moved to hospice. He has had another series of strokes and his body is shutting down. I said something about the rehab place being the reason and she said it was ...complicated.. but couldn't talk at the moment because my aunt was right there.
I don't know if J's son will get to see him before he dies. I hate this past year. I really really hate it.

I don't know how I feel right now. Except just sad.
And J's exwife has been out of jail now for a few weeks and her daughter let Mom know that she (the ex wife) has been getting drunk again. Which makes me sad too because I think based on what little I know of her parents and sibling, what she needs is a lot of therapy and support.
This also means that the ex wife will get to make decisions about J's son and all of that and .,.it's a mess. That child needs a miracle and there aren't any.

On a side note my mom's brother was married for a long time, he and my aunt got divorced when his daughters were in their 20s to a woman who was only a few years older than his oldest daughter and who has the same name as Mom. I haven't ever really gotten to know her so she's always "my uncle's wife" in my head.
To my aunt, however, she has become "wife-in-law" and my aunt just posted a selfie of the three of them saying Happy Birthday Wife in Law .
Which makes me smile that they can build that kind of relationship and support system.
