We had a rough day, she and I. An emotional breakdown that scared me. A side of her I've never seen. It broke my heart. She couldn't really explain what was wrong. And the other parents gasped, "that's just not like her." Then she was okay, but she never really recovered. She was quiet and seemingly sad the rest of the day.
I know most people would write it off as a tantrum, but I know her. I know her tantrums. I know her bad moods. I know what makes her cry. This was different. Maybe I do overreact because I worry. I'm hoping tomorrow is a better day.

As a mother, the fact you are hugely aware of your family histories is monumental. Now that you're armed with that information, you need to do something with it. Maybe you should speak to your pediatrician about these signs - when are you overreacting and indeed when is it something else. Don't be afraid to lean on others to help you wade the waters of parenting.
Maybe she is changing hormonally?
Ryan goes through many emotional ups and downs. He is at a stage that he's to young to do the things he wants or he's too old to do other things. It's tough on the child and the parent. Be strong, but breakdown when you feel necessary.
Give Canon some extra special TLC and let her know that Bella will be there soon to play with her. Big hug to you and Canon. Here's hoping today is a better day. Love you.
