Tuck Everlasting Quote

This one line in the movie "Tuck Everlasting" has weighed on my heart for people whose friend's or family have died,past or present: "Winnie,don't be afraid of death,rather be afraid of the life-unlived". That phrase has been echoing in my mind since yesterday when I watched it. I think mostly it resounds so much in my brain is because my Gommie B. is once again not in best of health right now. My Mom is leaving today to go be with my G-Dad and her brother. I guess I should be used to all this stuff by now,but it is still scary no-matter how old I am. As the "Blessed Be Your Name" song goes "He gives and takes away,He gives and takes away,my heart will choose to say "Lord blessed be Your Name".

Finally...

That day had come, a day of triumph and infamy of great proportions, Today at nine o'clock p.m I got my braces off. It didn't hurt too bad...the impressions they did afterwards tasted pretty good,no joke,fo real. I went home and hung about and killed time till I went back again for my bottom and top retainer at two o'clock pm. Both retainers are clear,kinda like the clear braces "Invisalgine". The bottom retainer is only temporary until next Wednesday when I go again to get the permanent bottom retainer that I chose,it being a lady bug. Now I can eat anything I want "legally",now Mom doesn't have to worry wart over me breaking brackets and such. After dance Recital some time I have to get my bottom wisdom teeth out...I guess there is a price you have to pay for straight teeth.
