Las Vegas Orthodontist In The Community

Here at Desert Orthodontics we like to be involved in our Las Vegas community. Recently we asked children that visit our practice to write a letter to our office about what they are thankful for. 

We would like to congratulate Jorge Ayala for writing a beautiful letter to our office. Below is his letter to our office.

Most people don't understand the real things that you should be thankful for. It's not about getting presents on Christmas or getting candy on Halloween. You should be thankful for the things that can't be bought or rapped up in rapping paper with a bow.

The things that I am thankful for are the things that come in the goodness in the hearts of people that you care about like your friends and family. I'm thankful for family members that try their hardest to find the positive things in a tough situation. An example of this is how my aunt and cousins were planning on coming to our house for Thanksgiving, but they just found out that my cousins baby who is 2, who has been sick almost every time we've seen him, has a type of cancer called Leukemia as of 11/13/09. As much as they'd hate to leave him behind, they are still going to try to leave that behind them and leave him at the hospital with his mom while they still drive to our house for Thanksgiving.


I'm also thankful for our troops in Iraq, the army, the navy, and the military service who fight for our country's rights and for letting us live the way that we can, unlike other places like Africa who wake up to a life without any one to take care of them, feed them, or to have a healthy lifestyle. I'm thanful for food that i eat everyday that my mom cooks for my family, I'm thankful for a warm cozy home to sleep in or to stay in when there is bad weather outside, and I am thankful for a family that takes care of eachother when someone is sick, doesn't know where to turn to, and who takes in their parents inside their homes when thay grow old. But, the most important thing that I am thankful for s the holidays. The reason why I am thankful for the holidays is because it's the time of the year where my family gets together and forgets about divorces, sicknesses and the frustrations of lifes ups and downs and we come together to occampany one another, and show eachother love and compassion. From brother to sister, mother to daughter, father to son, cousins niece or nephews, we all come together to be thankful for letting our family live another year and for letting us share these occasions as one family. Together, no matter what obstacles stand in our way, we face these together, as a family.

In the end, I am thankful for a lot of things but these were the most important ones. These are truly the most important things that I am thankful for.
