I don't know how many roller coaster enthusiasts are out there these days, but over the years my summers always included time well spent with my daughter and friends visiting different amusement parks in search of the most thrilling rides. These memorable trips continued well into her early adulthood as I fought the all-too-familiar nausea so that I might squeeze in a few more thrills and experience that adrenaline rush from the speed and unknown ups and downs of the rides. As we mature, some of our enthusiasm for the rush of twists and turns is replaced with a need or desire for a sense of stability. While I remain an advocate of the importance of remaining young at heart and mind, along with age hopefully comes a certain amount of wisdom to prepare us to better handle the ups and downs of life.
I remain heartbroken for what so many of us have been through and continue to experience in these tumultuous times, and yet I am also tremendously inspired by the selfless acts of kindness, strength, and thoughtfulness that I have seen within humanity. Words cannot adequately express the admiration and gratitude for those on the front line but also in the smallest acts of kindness of daily living. I once again wish to commend our profession, especially those many dental offices and laboratories that have used technology to offer aid with necessary PPE and other much-needed innovations during this time. Roller coasters are fun and I wish to eventually return to those rides with my daughter, but right now COVID-19 has taken a serious toll that must not be ignored. We must continue to support one another.
