It was six years ago today, at about this very time that I was driving Joe to his Pediatrician's office. It was there that his urine was dipped and sugars and ketones were detected. It was then that he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
An important day that changed our day-in-the-life.

It's a crummy memory - and, you'll never forget it. Which sucks...
Hugs...
Happy (?) Diaversary!
Hugs...to you all as you remember this day and continue to live everyday of your "D" to the fullest. xoxo
Somebody once pointed out to me how different the ebonics way of saying somebody made a birthday was- that the term is "he made ten" instead of "he turned ten," and how that goes with a more... fatalistic attitude? a sort of exultation at making it another year.
Anyway, you made six! And Joe made six! On to seven! Hope the day is/was what you wanted it to be.
SIX! You are just barely 3 months ahead of our "SIX" coming up in December! I hear ya! Stupid yet beautiful day indeed!
an important day indeed, I am thankful that 6 years ago Joe was there with you and his family able to receive the treatment he has for the past six years. Someday, I still hope to be able to say the opposite - something along the lines of geee I think it was six years ago around this time of year when my son was cured of t1d, or was it seven, hmmm....
That is where my hope lies for our kiddos future, an all out cure for sure :)
Have a spectacular day celebrating together!
Six years of thriving with T1D, Congratulations! It takes an amazing amount of energy and dedication to be where you are now, so you should be really proud :)
Thankful for the day that Joe's life was saved and you were able to begin your journey of keeping him safe and healthy. Love you!
Sending you a big ole hug and as a mother of an almost nine year old boy, I will send you his hug too (you can dispense it secretly!) The brevity of this post makes me think you don't wanna talk about it. Maybe that is just the way I have been feeling....I am sick of T1D. My son was diagnosed a bit over 3 1/2yrs ago. We have not been fighting as long as you fellow warrior boy and Mom. You are both made of sheer awesomeness. You have gotten me and consequently my sweet boy through many a day/night. Thank you Reyna! and God bless.
