Does She Remember
This morning I was thinking about Cara and all the daily changes she has made in her life in such a short amount of time. It has only been 2.5 months since her type 1 diagnose but it feels like forever. I was wondering if she even REMEMBERS the way it use to be?
does she remember eating without restrictions and measuring
does she remember when her finger tips did not bleed
does she remember eating only when she is hungry and not because her blood sugar is low
does she remember not being different from all the other kids
does she remember playing outside freely without any worry of lows
does she remember being able to enjoy a meal without knowing a shot was coming
does she remember being frighten of needles
does she remember not knowing every second of the day when, what and how much she is going to eat
does she remember when meal time did not begin with a finger pick and end with a shot of insulin
does she remember how it feels not to have highs and lows
does she remember being scared of the hospital
does she remember not having to be so brave every second of the day
does she remember looking into my eyes and not seeing sadness
does she remember who she was before diabetes
