That was sweet....Kassie, Thanks for your comment. That was sweet.<BR/><BR/>I want to see a cure for all of you. Will it come? I don't know. But, my hope remains intact. <BR/><BR/>I don't want Riley to have just one day without diabetes. I want him to have a lifetime without it. Anything else just won't do. One day would be too disappointing. I think after that one day, it would be like him being diagnosed all over again. I don't want to go through that again. <BR/><BR/>So, if he could go one day without diabetes, I wouldn't take it. Selfish? Maybe. But, one day without this disease wouldn't make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things. <BR/><BR/>I want a cure. I want the whole nine yards. I'm greedy that way:-)Penny Ratzlaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368479901015692591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31432158.post-1163166732385790482006-11-10T05:52:00.000-08:002006-11-10T05:52:00.000-08:00I CANNOT IMMAGINE A DAY WITHOUT DIABETES!

I have heard a cure promised so many times, that I am deaf to such mumbling blab. ISN'T IT HORRIBLE THAT I TRULY CANNOT IMAGINE A DAY WITHOUT DIABETES..... I have had D for 45 years. I just cannot imagine anything else. That is frightening!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31432158.post-1163132066850246902006-11-09T20:14:00.000-08:002006-11-09T20:14:00.000-08:00It would be a whole new world for me!

Not for me, not for my mom, not for Gracie.

It took just about sitting on my hands to keep me from taking that familiar Lantus injection. Weeks passed before I kicked that habit.<BR/><BR/>I wish their was a cure. I have a little bit of hope still buried that I will see one. But, like you, I think more about the little kids who are growing up with this than I do for myself and my fellow adults. I wish for peace and health for them. They deserve to enjoy their beautiful childhoods. <BR/><BR/>As my brother once said to me, I look forward to the day when all of these blogs are empty.Kerri.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11463843830570716380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31432158.post-1163121097125512712006-11-09T17:11:00.000-08:002006-11-09T17:11:00.000-08:00what hope I have for a cure comes from knowing the...what hope I have for a cure comes from knowing the Josephs and Gracies and Rileys and Brendons and Daniels and Olivias of this world.
