The kids have a bunch of photos on the wii. Honestly, I am not even sure how to do that. Anyhow, they were looking through pictures from this trip last summer to Lincoln City. Charter saw this one of himself, and all of the sudden my mama ears became more attentive. He said "look, that is from before I had diabetes." My heart ached when I heard this. I realized that he was saying so much more with those words. He was telling us that he knows that his life is different now. He saw this picture of himself having fun, and equated that to life without diabetes. Ouch!!!
Life is hard at times. It is hard for your child to look at "before" and "after" in their own life, and at ten years old have such an obvious difference emotionally to how he views life.Charter has kept in amazing spirits considering his circumstances, but he still does have rough times. Thank you to all who continue to pray for us... on the good days, and on the ones that the sun is not quite shinning.
