Gracie is much better off than all the children with diabetes who don't have a parent you truly understands the disease and what they're going through. For whatever comfort that brings.<br /><br />I've never really considered the possibility of passing on diabetes to my children. As my husband and I prepare to start our family, it's something that I must think about. Thank you for reminding me.<br /><br />Take care, you're in our thoughts and prayers.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158609377041501796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536178837256094246.post-20375109659247433062006-11-09T15:05:00.000-08:002006-11-09T15:05:00.000-08:00I'm over here through Julia.

Man. It's just so not fair. And...What a thing. <br /><br />Man. It's just so not fair. And I think it to be just so very hard to watch it happening, and feeling so helpless. <br /><br />We parents are "fixers". We want to fix whatever trouble is bothering our little ones. And there is nothing we can do.<br /><br />I think that Gracie has a very unique situation though, and one that will do nothing but empower her as she grows up. She will not remember much before diabetes, and she will remember all of the struggles and challenges that she and her mom work through. A strong bond between the two of you.<br /><br />It still sucks though. Bah.Scott K.

I can honestly say that I understand where you are coming from. <br /><br />The pain you feel when you're child is diagnosed with this disease is undescribable. Only someone else who has been there would understand.<br /><br />And, I think it's even worse for you, because it's happening slowly and you are powerless to stop it. Also, you know what her future holds because you have lived it yourself. <br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. This is just the type of thing people need to hear to understand why finding a cure is so important.Penny Ratzlaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368479901015692591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536178837256094246.post-40663634603164178952006-11-07T01:14:00.000-08:002006-11-07T01:14:00.000-08:00Your post reminds me of the new book out, Cheating...Your post reminds me of the new book out, Cheating Destiny, about the politics and history of diabetes in America. The author is type 1, and his three year old son is diagnosed with type 1 while he is working on the book. He says similar things about not thinking about a cure for himself, but for his young son.
