A laughing dentist

Today I had to accompany my youngest daughter to the dentist. My daughter had a cavity. 

We were 5: my father, my mother, my eldest daughter, my youngest and me. 

We are often all together when one of my daughters has to be examined by a doctor. I'm not married, and bringing my two children alone to a medical examination means that I have to split between the daughter who must be visited, the other who is bored or crying, and the doctor that I have to listen. I would need superpowers.  

When at last the dentist came calling my daughter, he saw 5 all of us there and laughed, saying: "All the family here? Ok guys, who's the first?".

Having a family who is ready to help you when 

All this may be considered "normal" by someone. Well, I don't think so. I am a lucky woman.

I am lucky because, although I live alone with my daughters, many people love us and check on us daily.

I am lucky because even if my eldest daughter has a disability, I don't consider it a misfortune. Ok, it didn't go as planned. Who cares. Let's try and see the best in what we have. 

I am lucky because even if I always have doubts about my way of raising my kids, they love me and they show it daily, and I can say that we have a unique bond.

I am lucky because maybe at least I found out what I wanna be when I'll grow up. And who cares if I found it now that I'm almost 41.

I am lucky because, all together, we all can share love and make it grow. 

I am lucky because today I succeeded in seeing the best part in the people I had around, and I hope they have been able to see my best part (provided I have one).

And if I succeed in remembering this every day, all the more when things won't be so good as they have been today, I'll be doubly lucky.
