[television is just wrong]

This year is tough for us, we have braces on both childrens teeth, and are looking forward to crowns, and a bridge with the missing teeth for my son. I guess he's getting his two front teeth for christmas.

Other medical expenses still being covered as well. Gall gladder surgery my son had this past year. If I didn't have an artificial tree we've used for the past few years, I wouldn't know what to do.

I'm training to go back to work. Things will get better. It is only this year, possibly next that will be tight.

God Bless you! Your children will remember your sacrifices, everytime they look into the mirror! You are a good parent and that's what counts!

My daughter is on her second round of braces. The dentist badgered me into them when she was in 4th grade, when she was 18, wisdom teeth messed up her mouth. At 19 she had braces again, $6,000 on us! Thank goodness for payment plans. Last payment due next month.
