I cried all day. I manage to keep "those" thoughts pushed to the back of my mind until I hear of a family losing their Type 1 child. I hate hearing those stories.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218589799283120130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341322622252989045.post-75552823406759615002010-11-11T23:02:57.895-06:002010-11-11T23:02:57.895-06:00I watch a show called D-Life. It airs on Sundays, ...I watch a show called D-Life. It airs on Sundays, so I record it and watch it after my daughter goes to bed. Recently, Michelle Alswager was on the show, talking about the loss of her son to Type One. I stopped the show and couldn't get to my daughter's room fast enough - I wanted to make sure she was okay. I felt so awful for the woman on the TV, and yet I couldn't help wondering what I could do to prevent it happening to my daughter. It really shook me out of my complacency... Things had been going so well that I'd almost lost sight of the danger we really are in, all the time. I can't afford that luxury... gotta stay diligent.

After reading a paragra...Yes, I feel the same way. After reading a paragraph writted by a mom who lost her type 1 child...the paragraph described that she misses type 1, she misses calling out to her boy to do a check as she sets dinner on the table...etc...I felt a little guilty for hating this disease.<br /><br />UGH.<br /><br />Great job educating the community. Joe and I and so very many appreciate all that you do. Together, we can all make a difference.<br /><br />(((HUGS))Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.com
