One Year Anniversary

January 25, 2009 was Andrew's one year anniversary of diagnosis. I wanted to celebrate, not that he had diabetes, but all that we had learned. The family had come so far and learned so much. I didn't want it to be a sad day, but wasn't sure how to "celebrate" it either. Then we found out that a new local diabetes support group was having a social that day at an indoor YMCA pool. It was perfect! We spent the afternoon swimming in January - an activity we wouldn't have been invited to without Andrew's diagnosis. Thank you, God, for providing the perfect way to spend the day!

  1. So when we met you at the pool last summer, it hadn't been all that many months..... y'all seemed to have it under control.

  2. We didn't always feel like it! Swimming was a new experience! You don't notice the symptoms of being low - sweating, fatigue, weakness- in the water!
