It's like something Ryan said to me lately, "shit just got real" in relation to the seriousness of it all. <br />It's her diabetes and although you will one day relinquish control, she won't. Ever. <br />And by geez, if she ever feels alone, you know where to go!Scullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745442527137426283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-42511532460690685572013-03-13T22:03:59.577-07:002013-03-13T22:03:59.577-07:00What a powerful thing.

Sometimes I get mad that it takes so much work for me to eat, when others can just eat what ever they want. Please know you aren't alone. I'm wearing a pump and doing finger sticks too, and sometimes I feel tired of it all. But then sometimes, it doesn't seem so bad!!! On those days, I'll send some happy diabetes thoughts your way too, so it won't feel bad for you either!!<br /><br />Hugs and Love,<br /> KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853213615426205881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-3293500910396261762013-03-13T13:56:52.418-07:002013-03-13T13:56:52.418-07:00What a wonderful connection...so glad that Elise w...What a wonderful connection...so glad that Elise was able to have this and I hope that it has helped in her feelings of being alone with her "d". xoxoKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05989684162887935990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-68930569698357193362013-03-13T12:46:20.980-07:002013-03-13T12:46:20.980-07:00Love this.

We have the one benefit of having a father with d to consistently connect, but then again being the father it is sometimes hard to just let go and not lecture while connecting. I also appreciate your note about when your child is diagnosed early, how it almost feels like it is "your diabetes", too...I try to explain this to my mother-in-law as TJ was diagnosed at 12 she doesn't get it, but with Isaac counting carbs and just knowing the fluctuations of his body with this is almost ingrained in me now. Oye, there are days I wonder what it will be like when I stop looking at a plate of food and know the carb count without really thinking - times when I won't wake up exhausted and panicked because the CGM alarm is going off. But, these other moments of connection are truly priceless. And, I hope her lovely skin finds some relief, too :) (Isaac has excema and it is a pain!)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-9269566715354079492013-03-13T10:35:44.166-07:002013-03-13T10:35:44.166-07:00Sitting here at work reading blogs like I do most ...Sitting here at work reading blogs like I do most days at some point. Today while reading yours, I had to literally fight back the tears. I am the wife of a Type 1 so I understand how you felt and I can only imagine how it felt to see your sweet one connect with another PWD. Priceless. I love healthcare workers that take the time to understand and connect with "us"Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361096702591999799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-5795636712992734662013-03-13T10:13:10.752-07:002013-03-13T10:13:10.752-07:00Freakin' Awesome!!!
