On May 1, 2011 our families world was changed forever. Allison (our middle child) was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes - but life as we knew it could not stop. All of our activities and our other children did not change just a new twist on how to manage this new world. Figuring it out together is challenging and this is our new world.....

Thankfulness abounds..........

November 24, 2011

Today everyone is telling each other why they are thankful for the past year and what in their lives make them happy. We of course are thankful for our family and friends, but we are also thankful for our health. Yes, our daughter’s health this year has been a roller coaster ride but she has a disease that is manageable and we are very thankful for that. As much as a cure and being able to sleep through the night would add to our thankfulness, we will be gracious enough to accept our lives as they are – because we are happy, healthy, safe and secure and have great medical insurance. There are many others in this world that cannot say those things.

So on this wonderful holiday of thankfulness we send out our cosmic thanks to the world and heaven and say how thankful we are to have each other to walk through this life together –  with or without diabetes – either way we are blessed to be a who we are and where we are!

Happy Thanksgiving to all – and now let the Christmas season begin!!

Until there is cure,
Jennifer
