Our job as parents is to give our children the tools that they need to become independent - that's true whether or not they have Type 1 Diabetes. Adele is still young, but Gerry and I both have sons that are now teenagers, and I can honestly say that sometimes I stand back in awe that Ben is taking this burden of Type 1so well. He has taught me more than one lesson about Courage and Hope and Endurance.Alicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7255572165774104242.post-38415942089891757842009-10-05T21:17:21.000-03:002009-10-05T21:17:21.000-03:00I agree Mike, this will make us strong, and not ju...I agree Mike, this will make us strong, and not just the parents. Rest assured the kids are stronger, more mature and responsible because of this. I see it in Mikel, and many kids of the support group.<br /><br />We take it day by day, make adjustments when needed, and wait for that day, when diabetes is a thing of the past. We offer help and guidance to the child, offer encouragement and make sure we are there for them, always. <br /><br />Does diabetes suck, yes it does. Sometimes its good and sometimes its bad. Like my father in law always said, "It could be worse".<br /><br />One day buddy, one day :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02014911544849160478noreply@blogger.com
