Dear Tooth Fairy,
Thank you for the kind letter and $5! We must share with you (who ever you may be in Austin, Texas!) that special moment upon arrival….

Nadie ripes open the letter and hands the card to Mom to read and upon hearing that it was from the tooth fairy starts to jump up and down exclaiming, “Oh my gosh! Oh my GOSH! How did she know? I can’t believe this! Mom, Mom, look at this!”

Mom’s reaction after reading the oh so cute letter, “Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! How did she know? I can’t believe this! (who sent this….)”

Sawyer upon overhearing all this, “Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I can’t believe this! THAT”S NOT FAIR! I’m the one who lost the last tooth!" (nothing is ever fair to Sawyer and Nadie). And the chase was on throughout the house…with Mom left in the dust still pondering it all…

Final outcome: they have decided to split the bill and have planned a trip to the Village Shop’s candy counter when next in town!

Thanks to the Tooth Fairy of Austin, Texas for another “treasured moment”…we still believe and it’s nice to know others do as well.

Now word has it at school that there is a hob globin who leaves a bag of candy on your doorstep on All Hallow’s Eve….we’ll let you know if one does exist…

Thanks Austin Tooth Fairy! You’re the best!

I have intentionally respected Mary’s privacy and I apologize to you for not sharing any news about Mary’s health sooner. On Monday afternoon Mary passed away very peacefully at home, surrounded by friends and “family”. Her departure was as graceful as the rest of her life. Many people, including Jen, have been doing heroic work to support Mary these last few weeks. Oddly enough Mary was never very excited about transitions though this was about the fastest transition she ever made. And as I struggle to let go of Mary I realize I am terrible with transitions as well. We used to joke about how we liked things just the way they are, thank you very much, so why change what is working already even if it might be less labor intensive. Hard works is its own reward. I used to joke about getting Mary a Cui...
