That must have been very scary and stressful as a parent! Speaking as someone who as a kid regularly broke her front teeth (usually playing ice hockey or similar), I get it. I am now in my 40s and still get chipping of the bonding. At this point, I am considering switching to some veneers on the broken front ones, as they last longer and are more resistant to staining - the bonding erodes over time and stains easier, especially on the edges. I must admit though, I think when the bonding chips, they kind of give me some extra character, which I am ok with. Any way about it, I have learned to eat (most of the time but not always) in ways that don't break my teeth. How's that for hope? Okay, some levity for you, and I am down for some extra fun.
I'm sorry to hear what happened to your daughter. My advice is to not blame yourself any more than you already have. Happy New Year! Looking forward to the January funtervention!
Thank you very much -- both for your empathy and the advice (I'm doing my best, but self-blame runs deep!). Happy new year to you as well, and I'm looking forward to funter-vening together!
Happy New Year. I found the HSA contribution funny “To scrolling less, living more, and contributing regularly to your HSA” 😀

We love your focus on fun! It’s one of our basic human needs and not prioritized enough!

Thanks, Raveen -- I really appreciate it. I somehow think I'd feel better about it if it'd happened to ME!
An ART SHOW? Oh wow! That is . . . impressive. Thank you so much for sharing the story, and for the reassurance :)
