It would certainly be less chaotic at times. And there would be a lot more sleep. I wouldn't be as anxious about things like Cross Country and Drama. Sleepovers would be a breeze.
But...
I also wouldn't have had Tracy and Heidi in my life to collaborate with Mr. Rose, and plan a surprise triple date to celebrate my 40th birthday!

| In case you were looking for her, Tiara ended up spending the night at a friend's house :) |
A few weeks ago, I commented on a Facebook picture Tracy's mom posted of a super cute Cookie Monster cake...
So...
She made me a gluten-free one...because she's awesome like that.
Not to mention that without diabetes, I would never have met Donna. And...without knowing Donna, I wouldn't have been surprised with this AMAZING GLUTEN FREE birthday cake! (See top center picture -- SURPRISE!)
(BTW, you should really check out her cookies -- which can all be made GF...and shipped!)

When Sugar's 3rd Grade Flat Stanley project needed a place to spend some time, we wouldn't have had Misty and her beautiful family in our lives to take him in for a few weeks.

| Our weekend is a post in itself. Stay tuned! |
Yes.
So much would be different without diabetes in our lives.
But so much would be missing as well.

yep, so much and so many would be missing and that would be sucky! but I would like to have some of my sleep back!! ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! You'll never catch up to me. ;) Lovely meditation on D's unexpected silver linings - have been thinking about that as well, recently. Have a great one!
ReplyDeletetoday I was thinking about how diabetes would make our lives so different...there are countless things I am thankful for since d has been introduced with Isaac, but right now it's been tough. Trusting others to care for your child with d is hard...I know this is my issue, but I am struggling for sure. Someday, hopefully soon, I will be able to know that others are able to care for him, I just may need a bit more encouragement and tips from lovely ladies like you :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful post written by such a beautiful person. Happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love this post!
ReplyDeleteI love how it is the same-same for
D-Mamas
the adult T1s (and our travel adventures)
and the "next generation" (their video chats look just like ours!)
