I looked at what I had made and it was good.

Seven years ago, my firstborn came into the world.

The joy and pride I felt cannot be described except to say that I finally understood the elation of creation.

Tania (meaning Fairy Princess) was the only girl born that day at the hospital - mirroring my own birth where I was the only boy born among girls.

Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news.

He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some
