I have ever told you that I know the tooth fairy? I do, she is a friend of my parents. I know that there is more than one tooth fairy, because how else would she get around and visit all the children who have lost teeth. But I know the tooth fairy of my time, when I was a child. Even though she isn’t the tooth fairy anymore, it is like being the President, once a tooth fairy, you will always be the tooth fairy.

This tooth fairy didn’t only come out at night. She would go into schools and teach children about oral hygene. It is a big job to make sure that children know how to take care of their teeth. I don’t know if the schools still have the tooth fairy come to visit, but they should.

Anyhow, after a while, the tooth fairy had helped a lot of children, she decided to do other things with her life. She has had many different jobs and helped many different people along the way. She is active in the Jewish community, volunteered and raised her two sons who are now grown. She also became a grandmother in recent years and is so proud of her grandson and now baby granddaughter.

This tooth fairy is a very strong women. She fights for what she believes in and isn’t afraid to tell you exactly what she feels about any given topic on any given day. So, as you can imagine, when the tooth fairy was told she had met up with the “C” monster, she wasn’t going to change her fighting spirit, not for the monster or anything else for that matter.

And she has not backed down her fighting spirit the whole way through the continuing battles with the the monster. She asked if she could be on a special trial and the hospital agreed. So she tried, but the monster seemed to be taking over and possibly trying to win the battle.

I went to visit the tooth fairy on Monday night. She still smiled at me and we still had stories to share. She will still tell you what she feels when she feels like it. I think that for some, that is a very good character trait to have. You know what you are getting, and it is up to you to deal with it.
