Daughter's injury and fear healed

Susan J. Ehart

In 1994, I moved to Florida as a single parent with my daughter, who had just turned two. I was to have a full-time job, and my daughter would be in day care all day. I had really enjoyed being at home with her, so I was not particularly happy about this, but there seemed to be no alternative.

My first day of work, I was just getting into my car after dropping my daughter off at day care when the director came running over to me. My daughter had fallen off a swing onto her face. When I went to see exactly what the situation was, the injuries to her mouth and teeth appeared serious. I attempted to quiet my thought, as well as to comfort my daughter, who was crying uncontrollably. Because the incident had occurred on school property, I agreed to the director's request that I take my daughter to see a dentist who specialized in treating children.
