MY FIRST

In memory of my grandfather. He was a dentist/surgeon and got me interested in teeth at a young age. He had extracted ones from patients that he'd show me and I thought it was the coolest thing to see the entirety of a tooth. He passed away six years ago and we were extremely close despite the fact that most of the time we spent together was in a hospital due to his health. I wish I would have been able to get know him even better now that I'm older; I know we'd be much closer. He was an amazing man and I miss him dearly, but instead of mourning his death, I celebrate his life and all the moments we shared.
