Huge Love

Q: Where would I be without family and loved ones?

A:”In a darker place, left without my positive outlook on life, and adversely obsessed with the chronic (disease that is).”

Huge love goes out to my family and girlfriend. It is these people that I hold most dear to my heart. They have loved me and supported me from day one.

While I may not be prone to openly spill my feelings out loud, they have been ever vigilant, and on board if I needed to talk. A kind word is never far to find.

Julie, you are a constant protective angel. Able to detect my lows and voice lovingly when it’s “time to eat”. Thank you for being on guard and actively willing to act fast in an, albeit rare, emergency. You are the Best!

Mom and Dad, you two flood me with supportive encouragement and overwhelming pride. From buying my first meter and sugar-free goodies, to help with insurance woes and money flow… you keep me above water and make me beam from the loving words you share.

To my sister, Saira, and my grandparents and friends, thank you for being there in my time of need and offering yourselves to soften the burden of my sometimes cumbersome plight. I know I can always turn to you for anything!

You all represent a strong link in my diabetes success story. Each of you personify an individual stone- each having it’s own extraordinary traits. Together, however, you come together and form the mountain of support that will keep me headstrong, happy, and healthy for years and years to come.

In the midst of it all, I am the one filled with that “big pride thing”, as you are all “truly my heros”!
