T1D

A letter to my 11 year old daughter ~ we will manage this disease. This is just one part, one piece, one variable to a long written equation. An equation that would take up 5 large chalk boards. You are surrounded with love, you are surrounded with experts in their fields, mommy and daddy are with you. In the ICU you looked up at me and whispered, "We have to stay positive mommy ~ always"; at that moment I witnessed the definition of brave. We must have 20 nick-names for each other; we would have more but that would be too confusing. So I will pick 'Bububs', one of your favourites, to close out this love letter. To my 'Bububs' - we will stay positive, a cure will come one day, and until then we will always be 3 steps ahead. Please know that mommy and daddy, our family, relatives, and friends all love you...so much. Love MaMa Bear
