JUNE 21

Okay, so it's not "normal" for me to do two posts in one day.  I thought I would not acknowledge this date, June 21, but I just don't have it in me to let it go by without SOMETHING.  The Girl asked me this afternoon if I had forgotten what this day was and I had not, just tried to not mention.  But, oh well, I have to acknowledge.

June 21, 1991 was the day The Girl was diagnosed with Type I diabetes.  Yes, 26 years ago.  26!  In thinking of my earlier post today, I guess The Girl's story is a story worth telling.  And more than that, 26 years of living with a disease for which there is no cure is something to shout about with gratefulness.  Yes, years of tears and fears, but now days of joy and thankfulness.  And yes, still hope that a cure will be found in The Girl's lifetime.

So a shout out LOUD to The Girl for her success for living with this disease.  It's as The Pastor said just this past Sunday, the only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.  So a shout out loud for her working to keep a control.  Let those times of not keeping control fall away from the thoughts and let's just celebrate the success!

To The Girl--we are so full of pride for you and all you have become--with or without diabetes.  Yay!
