Moral Support for Grown-ups

As I write this blog, I am sitting in the waiting room at my daughter’s dentist office. This is her first root canal and she is scared. When she asked if I would go with her, my first thought was, why?  She is 26 years old.  After all, it’s just a root canal. However, to her it was more than that. It was the not knowing what to expect, being alone and the potential pain that frightened her. Having somebody with her, especially somebody that was knowledgeable (I am a nurse) and having somebody that loved her made all the difference.
