Diabetes Camp

Grace left yesterday morning for diabetes camp. She is away til Friday. She was excited beyond belief that she was going. It was FAR away in PA. PA is a huge state and honestly, we spent 3 hours getting there. I met other D-Moms and Dads and that was great. We checked in and met one of the doctors and that was, to put it mildly, unreal, and worth a whole 'nother blogpost. I promised myself I wouldn't cry and you know what? Once I saw how happy she was to be there, and saw how much she will do and learn and experience, it wasn't worth the tears of sadness. It was a happy event, taking her to camp.

She was delighted.

She'll have campfires...

and a little theater...

boating and fishing on a lake...

swimming (every day)...

a wonderful cabin and bed...

great cabin-mates - ALL Type 1...

and a place to belong to a community larger than herself.

Can I ask all of you out there in the DOC - whether you follow A Sweet Grace or not, to please include a prayer for Grace in your daily prayer, and if you aren't the praying kind of gal or guy, could you just shoot a positive vibe out into the universe on Grace's behalf?

That she have a great time, 

meet new friends, 

is safe and well-cared for,

 and most of all, 

feels above all else during this camp experience,

 that she is not alone in her journey with diabetes.

Thanks everyone.
