I hope today is a great day, not perfect, but simply a good one :) I re-read Gifts from the Sea over my holiday in Canada and loved the tenderness of being able to be honest like you are about our lives and know that there is always a continuum we are living on. And I wish we lived closer just so I could have a cup of tea with you and let you know that I remember, too.

Thanks for letting me know that remaining silent is worse than saying something wrong. I needed to hear that and I will work on it.<br /><br />I love you so much. And your whole family. Thank you for being part of my world.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853213615426205881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-29488313326668214482016-07-20T07:38:49.926-07:002016-07-20T07:38:49.926-07:00I love this post.

They don't acknowledge the different kind of parenting struggle that my husband and I have to go through by being our son's pancreas. This past weekend, though, my grandparents (who had a daughter with Type One) told us that they are proud of us and the work that we're doing. That meant so much. You are right-- being seen is so important. I remember your post about Nicolas and writing his name down. I was so incredibly sad. I actually think about him and you often. I'm so happy that speaking about him at FFL brought you joy. That brings me happiness. Rebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905043783813333417noreply@blogger.com
