Working on getting rid of our used sharps (needles, insulin pens,etc). A picture really is worth 1,000 words! (Sometimes it’s worth 1,000,000 tears) This has been our focus for the last 6 months since @laura_m.grace was diagnosed With Type 1 Diabetes in September. It becomes your new normal, but seeing how each needle represents another poke, another (usually painful) shot, another moment of grief...It still brings me to tears. Each needle also represents each scary low blood sugar where she’s almost passed out, each dose of insulin to bring an unhealthy high blood sugar into normal range, each daily dose of the long acting insulin that keeps her functioning. I am thankful we have medicine but I hate that we have to have it. After 6 months, it still hits you like a wave of grief that your child will be sick the rest of her life. As I begin to question God WHY, I am reminded that He wants to use Laura’s (and my) life, experiences, and even her diagnosis for a bigger purpose. He’s using my grief today to remind me He is the Hod of all comfort. I couldn’t do this without Him.
