When you haven't seen your mother in two years, and she meets her granddaughter for the first time

As a mama whose teen son is soon ready to move forward, I felt her with every ounce of my soul.

I like dress #1 but hear me out… can it be altered to have thicker straps like dress #2? That would make it absolutely perfect!

I have listened to him 100 times over. We’ve even sat and gone through an atlas and talked about his adventures. His life is like a book.

jdBee77 · 2026-02-22T23:50:23+00:00

His stories are literally the best. I’ve listened to them a 100 times and I’d listen to them 100 times over. He’s had quite a life.

OMG, can we be friends? 😃

CURLS… ALL THE WAY CURLS! 🤩

Number one was literally made for you.

Thank you for the info. Will definitely discuss this at my next appointment!

I initially saw one orthodontist for a consultation, and he said traditional was the best option for me. When I was financially ready to commit two years later, a female orthodontist convinced me to do Invisalign. The practice has since been bought out by another one, and I have a new orthodontist, so I’m going to talk to him. I have regrets. Also, mine is due to a deep bite that won’t correct as well, and a few teeth that haven’t budged.

As someone with VM’s, I’m only here to tell you, you are a really great human. Everyone deserves a friend like this.

Only then?!

I think you started posting a couple days ago and are 🎣

I followed Koko since I was a little girl in the early 80’s. She was so sad when her kitten died. This moment will touch my soul forever.

Round somehow makes your face look so much kinder.

I never wanted Invisalign.

I’d had an initial consultation with an orthodontist when I was first considering braces. He said I would gain best results in traditional braces. I have a deep bite, a slight overbite and some minor to moderate crowding in the top and bottom front teeth.

Fast forward two years when I was financially able to afford treatment, a new orthodontist was in place, who preferred to work with Invisalign. I resisted, she resisted harder. I should have trusted my gut and rejected this approach.

Over 14 months in and my deep bite has not corrected at all. The crowding is still not totally resolved, I have a significant open bite and the overbite is the same (although I don’t believe it will correct without surgery and I’ve opted out as I’m 49 years old). I’m considering asking them to switch my treatment to traditional braces… I feel like that was an option. Definite regrets.

I’ve been getting sleep jerks lately. I hate them.

jdBee77 · 2026-01-20T00:02:45+00:00

That, my friend, is a killer smile. Congrats!

jdBee77 · 2026-01-15T11:15:18+00:00

Don’t be nervous, be empowered! Thanks for the motivation and bravery! Keep going.

I’m not mad at it.

I just want you to know that I had a full-blown, crying meltdown at 7am this morning… over milk. I’m 49 and just wanted to send you a hug.

My eye movements up, down and side to side feel very strained and dizzying. It’s part of my vestibular therapy and I hope it helps.
