(And his momma too!). It is totally acceptable that we all not share the same feelings. Not acceptable to tell others that it is or is not ok to feel a certain way. <br /><br />Keep being the awesome team that you are!Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818861980843167968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-26611993226830489692013-08-05T01:40:01.581-04:002013-08-05T01:40:01.581-04:00No room for judging in our beautiful circle of D f...No room for judging in our beautiful circle of D friends, only love and support. <br /><br />You are an awesome mom, friend, D advocate and person, and anyone who thinks any different doesn't know you or know squat. <br /><br /><br />Same same, twin. <3Alexis Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671634676455946839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-77405333215579071322013-08-04T23:01:39.405-04:002013-08-04T23:01:39.405-04:00For the record: I love you.For the record: I love you.Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-6292642627240949192013-08-04T22:17:32.925-04:002013-08-04T22:17:32.925-04:00Our kids deal with so much.

Something in me broke at her dx. I'm different now. I am full of worry. And I hide it, too. People tell me I'm so calm!! Sometimes... <br /><br />We are doing our best to raise kids who are confident, successful, caring, compassionate... And healthy. Mentally and Physically Healthy. Adding diabetes- along with other stuff - makes that a tall order. But I know you. And I know Justin. And I think you're doing a great job!

My son came in this afternoon because he felt low. He took his four glucose tablets and sat on the porch waiting for the timer to beep. His friend sat on the porch with him, but while Joel came in to check and eat a quick snack, his friend ran off with another kid. When Joel opened the door and his friend wasn't there, I watched a sad look come over his face and his shoulders dropped. I said, "Go find them!" and he took off running. <br /><br />I get it. <3Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966595904025968778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569641350490898348.post-26129181119403030752013-08-03T20:25:28.242-04:002013-08-03T20:25:28.242-04:00Funny, you always comment that I remind you of you...Funny, you always comment that I remind you of yourself. I was reading this and saying the same about you! I always feel like people think its no big deal just because of my attitude on the outside, I too appear happy, and not worried at all. But if I walked around on a daily basis with my true feelings showing, I wouldn't be very fun to be around. My heart breaks reading this because I know that look of sadness all too well....and he was sidelined at his own birthday party.....while his friends continued to swim :( My heart was so broken then, he was so excited about that party.

The incredible part was how much having Isaac diagnosed with diabetes allowed TJ to talk about his true feelings about it with me and his family. Prior to that he was a tough "no big deal" kind of guy - but now watching Isaac and helping Isaac find his voice about how diabetes feels has brought about a tremendous amount of growth for him in terms of his feelings/attitude/experience as a PWD.
