Blessing Day: Mothers

Flossing

I was flossing last night when POP! a filling flew out of my mouth.

I was not chewing gum, caramel, or any bad-for-your-teeth sticky stuff. I was flossing, which is supposed to protect your teeth. Am I really old enough to just start falling apart like this?

This filling has always annoyed me, from the very beginning (9 years ago) it would snag the floss and separate the strands, and it always felt like I shouldn't pull it up. I've been to three different dentists since I got it, and asked two of them about it with no sympathy or concern from them.

Why is it that teeth emergencies most likely happen on Friday or Saturday?

The Luckiest by Heart

Dear Brecken:

I was thinking as we were listening to music on the road last night from Duluth to Grand Rapids--what song could we dance to at our 50th wedding anniversary? I decided it could either be "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds, or "I Know you By Heart" by Eva Cassidy. I love those songs because they make me think of you and how much I love you--and how lucky I am and that I feel that five years later we have been strengthened and have become closer than ever before because I truly do know you by heart. Thank you for this wonderful five--here's to seventy times seven more--which is always in bible speak.

Love,
Justin

"Baaah!"
