I reached out to the web, forums and blogs, I met other families, I chatted, I listened and, best of all, I stopped crying. I found "my other home", a place where people understood fully, place of knowledge and reassurance that my son can have a "normal" childhood and life, insulin and all.
Today, I am starting this blog because I feel compelled to add our story to the mountain of others with a hope that one day while reading it, another mom, or a dad, or a person affected by diabetes would find something interesting and hopeful in it, that perhaps, just perhaps, might make them stop crying and start smiling, again.
