I have gotten to that stage after 4 1/2 years (but who's counting) of diabetes that I am trying super hard to sit on my hands and let Oakley take over on her own.(kinda) I read your post about B (I think it was him) being low in the night and I know the panic you can feel. I have felt - OH, SO MUCH BETTER since my diabetic specialist told me that my child could go low and pass out and be passed out cold for up to 24 hours with ABSOLUTELY NO SIDE EFFECTS!! That has helped SO MUCH when it comes to the lows that scare me! Good luck....keep trucking along! And again...you amaze me!!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098658330937204857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-43184817519071385822010-08-08T12:01:05.989-07:002010-08-08T12:01:05.989-07:00Hi Meri :)

I don't have kids of my own yet so I can only imagine the pride you must feel to see one of your kids be able to take care of themselves and enjoy life. I can also imagine how hard it must be to let go (this does NOT compare AT ALL but it's really hard and weird to me to one of my brothers (who's younger than me) be his own young man now, when I still remember the many times my mom made me talk to him when he was little bc he wouldn't listen to her LOL...but that's as close as I can get so far)<br /><br />Growing up and finding one's place in the world is not easy, add D to the mix and it sure complicates things, but to see others thrive regardless is very inspiring to me! Your family, especially your boys are an inspiration!<br /><br />thanks again for taking your time to visit my blog I always always enjoy yours.<br />JessT1DisneyGurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854082692223120019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-19279874171176552012010-08-08T07:43:25.589-07:002010-08-08T07:43:25.589-07:00Thank you for the inspiration and hope!

It is so hard to imagine that it could be possible to let go..esp when your little one is so dependent (like my 3.5 yr old currently is) on your care.
