Ugh.. that's completely understandable. My favorite uncle who passed recently was born on April fools day. I always miss him extra on April 1. It sounds like you have a close knit family. Those types of families suffer in these hard times, honey but we live so richly in the good ones. I appreciate you letting us know what you have going on. Maybe I can give you a little laugh. My lively little 8 year old loves jokes and tricks. Today is Christmas to him. This morning he woke my wife up with the news that there was a fiery crash outside our house. Luckily for all involved, this was just his goofy little April fool's day good morning. "Mom! Someone crashed their car in the front yard, can I have some fruity.pebbles"?

Exactly Jill! I definitely need that, and I'm buying some. Luckily way before I could get that sent to me, @Rocks reef is mailing off a remedy to me. He's a pretty cool fella, don't tell him I told you that though.

Yep my favorite coral, the long polyp hammer. My 2nd coral 😢
