Two years ago, I wrote this about Mattias on the Special Sib of a D-kid. He was only two months old at the time.
And now, at the age of two, some of those things are beginning to dawn on him.
He loves her.
He hurts with her.
He's there when she needs him.
The rest will come later. For now he'll continue to do his thing.
Hugging her when she cries.
Watching her be brave during pod/dex changes.
Learning to check his own BG so "he can be wike Eweese".
And occasionally stealing Smarties (that we use for lows) from her diabetes bag.
He's Mattias... that's how he rolls.
And on this special day, Mattias would like to let you know that we're doing a giveaway here on Death of a Pancreas. My talented friend Marla made this in honour of World Diabetes Day (yes, I know... I'm so very late posting this) for me to give to one lucky reader.
Marla takes pieces of old wood and re-purposes it into art. You can check her out here. It doesn't come with any hardware to hang it, but you could certainly add it yourself, or just prop it on a mantle.
To win, all you have to do it leave a comment. I will draw and announce the winner on Dec.1st.
