One year ago today

One year ago today, I knew very little about type 1 diabetes.

One year ago today, I had a very sick child. 

One year ago today, I was relieved when the doctor said it was a mono-like virus.

One year ago today, there were no finger sticks or shots a minimum of 4 times a day.

One year ago today, I went to bed at night without the fear of my child dying in the night from severe low blood sugar.

One year ago today, I didn't know just how strong my child is.

One year ago today, I had no idea how strong I am. 

One year ago today, we had no idea how much our lives would change in the next 48 hours.

I don't have a picture from one year ago today, but this one is close....one year and 3 days ago,  when we first really noticed how sick he was.

Pin It!

  2. oh one more thing ... loved these two lines:

    "One year ago today, I didn't know just how strong my child is.

    One year ago today, I had no idea how strong I am."

    They are so true! It's only through life's challenges that we really find out what we are made of!

    Rock on!

  3. Huge huge hugs

    I know you've heard it said that the first year is the hardest and there is 100% truth behind that. Look at how far you've all come, celebrate that.
