It is so important to have a strong support system when you are dealing with a life long disease. My fiance has been there for me in so many ways. He has lobbied on the hill to get more funding for preventive care. He has gotten up in the middle of the night to get me candy so that my low blood sugar would rise to a safe zone. He has come with me to diabetes functions to learn more about the disease.
I was speaking at a diabetes camp two years ago and Donovan was with me. A mother of a young type 1 diabetic burst into tears because she saw the support my then boyfriend was giving me. She said it gives her hope that her daughter will find someone who will be able to deal with the disease her daughter has and love her.
We share to inspire and uplight one higher than ourselves
