Today we got a letter in the mail that was so upsetting.  Our dentist of over 30 years is retiring.  Don’t get me wrong we’re for retirement but the faith we have in our dentist is hard to give to someone else.  It’s almost like the letter said the Catholic Church is retiring and we need to find a different faith.  Yes, our dentist has been slowly turning his patients over to his successor that he sold his practice. But as nice and qualified as this sweet guy is, letting someone else into your mouth is not political it personal and faith based.  In 30 years I have never been in pain and my mouth is full of filling, root canals, and caps.  When we have a problem he has been there.  In my mind, heart and soul, changing religions would cause me less anxiety.  Damn this letter has caused me a toothache.  Thankfully I have month to get in for my lifetime checkup or teeth pulled and dentures.
