Missing Teeth

My youngest had an accident a year or two ago where she injured her two front teeth. Recently, my wife noticed a cist-like growth on the gums just above one of the teeth, so one dentist visit later, and ...


no more teeth! I think the abscess is gone now too. The bad news is that the loss of those teeth is a little premature. The good news is she'll be able to sing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" a little longer than most kids. Lucky girl.

A few days after the teeth-pulling adventure, she smacked her face on a shelf at the grocery store. I still don't really know how that worked because I wasn't there, but Emily can tell you more about it. She ended up with a really big green bruise above her left eye. I'm pretty sure she looked like an abused child for a few days. Thankfully her eye is looking much better.

Life knocks you around a bit, but thankfully almost everything heals with time and patience. I think with God's help, those things that don't seem to heal with time may end up being healed someday too.
