I was not aware, and quite honesty didn't pay much attention,
until it happened to someone I love more than anything....
This is my hero, my grandson Carson.
He was diagnosed 3 years ago with TYPE 1 Diabetes.
It's a cruel, unpredictable, relentless autoimmune disease.
It is 24/7...no timeouts, no vacations.
But it does not define this little guy!
He is amazing, courageous, happy, funny, smart and so handsome.
He is a mini- athlete, reads at the top of his class, he's creative, a thinker and strong.
He is kind, self directed, helpful and "Old for his age".
Making people aware and educating about what Type 1 Diabetes is a big deal!
Most days I post snippets/facts on facebooks, and I will occasionally post here throughout the month! I hope you take the time to read and learn.
I am so sorry sweet Carson (and his family) face this life-long disease. But so thankful for the love and support he has in all of you.
