Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, Tom.
I have a new phone. It's a smartphone, but a very basic one. The T-Mobile store didn't have any dumb phones, so I went to Best Buy, which only had Jitterbug phones in stock.(They could order me a dumb phone, but it wouldn't be available until Thursday.) Went back to the T-Mobile store and bought the smartphone and a charger. Didn't know most smartphones don't come with a charger.
Sorry you have to go through that, Shir.
At the end of May, I went to a family gathering, and saw my Mom the last time before this Friday. She had slowly but steadily been declining for years, and she had just received her cancer diagnosis, and I knew that the end was coming soon. In the end, it wasn’t the cancer that got her, but the cancer treatments left her in such a bad state that she finally just gave up.
I’ve been in such a deep funk all summer, which I was in denial about the causes of, but after she died, with me there to see it, I now feel like a weight has been lifted off me.
I grew up in Northern New Jersey, but my Mom was from the Jersey Shore, and she moved back about 15 years ago. My sisters researched our ancestry, and Mom has very deep roots to the area. My sister pointed out the graveyard behind the funeral home, and said that my Mom has relatives there going back to the Eighteenth Century.
Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Oh, Tom. It's so hard, but I'm so glad to hear this. Waiting for someone to die is...I don't even know how to finish that sentence. But I'm glad to hear you're feeling a tiny bit of respite.
Shir, I'm so sorry this continues to be your reality. Thinking about you.
Still thinking of you in what comes next, Tom. Love to you.

It is good that you were able to be there. I hope this helps bring you peace and comfort.
Tom, my thoughts are with you.
Shir, I’m glad you’re safe.
Karl, I’m sorry you’re having such a difficult time. I’m glad you’re able to be with good people.
My therapist is leaving, and she just texted me to change our final appointment to virtual. She has already set me up with a new therapist at my practice, but I’m still feeling all sorts of panic. And part of me is wondering why I’m even bothering seeing another therapist.
Tom, my heart goes out to you.
Sending you love, Tom
I need some health ~ma for M. We had the bathroom floor replaced. It took 14 hours. His nieces step dad did it. But they didn't check something with the water and the toilet was running all night.
His mom knew but I woke us up at 4 am to tell us because that was ...better in her mind. Anyway. m went out to the street to shut it off and bashed his toe with the metal thing, possibly broke it. Ripped the nail off. We are at the ER.
Oh ow!! Poor M! Hope the ER is able to see him quickly
