My mom is still my Sam to some extent, but my partner is the one who is now there with juice in the middle of the night and reminding me to check my BG when I forget. She is the one who learned how to operate my pump so that, if I can't she can help me. She is the one who has been scared and alone when I was totally out of it because of a bad low. She is the one who carries the burden of this disease with me, who worries about it as much as I do if not more. The one thing about living with T1D is that it changes how you see other people. While I hate the idea of relying on other people sometimes, it's a good way of knowing who the true friends are in this world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606637689904713685.post-77492690117809329102011-08-12T13:14:08.893-07:002011-08-12T13:14:08.893-07:00Awww. so sweet and meaningful!
