I promise you, I don't go looking for bloggable moments from Charlie. I don't follow him around the house like the Verizon Wireless guy, asking, "How do feel about diabetes now? How do you feel about diabetes now? How do you feel about diabetes now?"
Take last night, for instance. I was minding my own business as I dried him off after his shower and we walked into his room, when he hits me with ,
"Dad, do you ever wish you had diabetes?"
"Well ,," I said, stalling while thinking how best to respond.
"Well, sometimes I do because I don't want you to feel alone."
"Oh," Charlie said with a thin smile. "I thought you were going to say 'no.'"

In DIABETES, "A" is another one of those letters that could stand for quite a few things. Appointments, anger, Apidra, Animas, amputation, and plenty more. There's plenty that I could say on all that (except Apidra because I don't know much about it). All that is so overdone though. So I'm picking a topic that I too often overlook on a daily basis when it comes to diabetes.

I definitely don't. So this appreciation isn't for diabetes. I'm not talking about how diabetes has changed me for the better, made me more responsible, opened my heart to so many amazing people.
