Being diabetic, I see a doctor every 3 months, and because of my periodontal disease, I visit the dentist just as often. The only comfort these visits bring is knowing issues might be caught early. I've even become besties with my dental hygienist (I've been a patient for 6ish years now). Your heartfelt account of your bond with Dr. D reminds me of the years I worked at TexPTS. My coworkers and I formed these unexpected, deep connections with some patients. It's the one and only thing I miss about working there!
You get it, Mica! I'm glad you've been able to find compassionate healthcare workers at these places. I really enjoy our dentist, too, but Dr. D takes the cake!

I love the way you curate words to make a story so relatable. And these photos of the boys are such precious memories frozen in time! 🤍
