D-Blog Week: Awesome Things.
Diabetes has some seriously dark, rotten moments and doesn't add much to my life, but the few things it has given me are almost as priceless as what it's taken away.

Diabetes has given me an extended family of people who really understand. And it's also given me a deep appreciation for my family at home.

Family, friends, and support are what get us through the tough times with diabetes. You guys are the Awesome Things. And this whole D-Blog Week has proven that a million times over. Much love to the DOC!!!

That B-Sparl. So cute.
Kerri, right now I'm in Vegas at an Educational Event with people with whom I only have one thing in common: diabetes. It's like old home week, and I have to say that these folks are one of the biggest reasons that I survive and thrive with the betes. We are learning how to better our peer education presentations while having an awesome time!

Great post Kerri - you nailed it. The family and friends we've gained is one of the most incredible things ever.
