I was so delighted to read you are engaged and off to a new life and career. Congratulations! Your strong faith and D mama skillz, are always an inspiration to me. By chance, was there a puppy up for auction at the Gala you were at? My friend donates her Labradoodles to several JDRFs across the country. Again I am so glad to hear you are dreaming big and the sun is shining in your world. Thank you for sharing your story. As a D mama your site was one of the first I found after my daughter was diagnosed with T1. Your words helped me crawl out of the deep sadness that smacked my world then. Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-13997108125449893812015-06-01T01:31:36.001-07:002015-06-01T01:31:36.001-07:00Yes, life certainly gets in the way of managing di...Yes, life certainly gets in the way of managing diabetes as well as we'd like to. I can definitely relate to being in 'autopilot' mode too, and I'm sure your boys step up to make things easier for you during these times. Great to hear about organisations like the JDRF who are working towards a cure.

So much of what you write here is true for me: Sure, D is important and doesn't go away, but it isn't the totally-on-the-mind thing-all-the-time since other life priorities take attention (ironic, as I work in D and it's a bit more difficult on that note to NOT think about it, but the general concept still applies...). I also get excited about the hope and all those working tirelessly for an eventual cure. It doesn't overwhelm me, especially when we've been hearing some of the same messages of hope and excitement for years, decades -- since encapsulation first hit the radar. I love it, and am excited by it, but try hard not to let myself get lost in the hope. Because, whether it works next week or in 50 years, life goes on tomorrow pretty much the same for me.MikeHhttp://www.thediabeticscornerbooth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-47211951974393394762015-05-31T14:49:19.936-07:002015-05-31T14:49:19.936-07:00Big hug.
