Despite diabetes

FYI
Despite diabetes my boy is out right now in the dark, pouring rain, miles back in a mountain, with a rebroke collar bone, joining other males bonding and helping each other haul out an almost 600 pound black bear.. and by the way..the first time he broke his clavicle he was the 6th grader starting quarterback for the whole jr. high football team! When he  rebroke it the second time (5 weeks later) he was the only 6th grader who made the A team and was playing in a basketball game! He also hunts all kinds of animals/ fishes/ hikes/plays baseball and anything else he wants to do.. I am not telling this to be bragging.. I just want others who may think that they can't do these things because of diabetes that they can! It may take more planning/etc.. but you CAN do it and do it well.... I WILL NOT let diabetes keep Isaac from doing anything that he wants to do...
It is National Diabetes Awareness Month...and I am very thankful to all of those in the DOC that are helping to spread awareness and are advocating for all of those fighting this TERRIBLE disease.

Our children are HERO'S....................
