Someone once told me at a young age “There is always a woman behind a great man” Same applies here “There is always a woman (a great woman) behind a child” I know both Bonnie & Lindsey and could go on and on about both them in soo many different ways yet I am sure all who know them have been blessed to learn all the things I know of each of them
Ive told Bonnie I pray to my angels in heaven that they help me become 1/2 the mother Bonnie is and always been. Still trying and am well aware that this task is almost impossible to achieve
Enough about me I love Bonnie & I love Lindsey what I love most them is all the undiscovered and unselish pieces of themselves they share with the world- They not open their homes but their hearts to all who need. Bonnie to me defines a mom a mother a bestfriend I’m blessed to be in a small corner of her life.
I love you Bonnie (more & more as the days are filled with the baby steps I take through motherhood)

What a beautiful post. It is so moving to think about what this disease is like from other perspectives. And I too have learned so much about fighting diabetes with strength and courage from knowing Lindsey!

Being a parent is challenging enough without the big D in the picture. I often find myself wondering if my son will get it from hereditary factors, I have it, my grandfather had it and I am constantly fighting daily to push him to exercise and healthy eating so he has the best chance not to get it. yes I have pricked his fingers a few times but that’s what parenting is all about and it sounds like you are doing a great job with Lindsey, keep it up.

You have raised such an amazing daughter. I am in awe of Lindsey’s strength and determination. She has inspired all of us.

I think your last sentence is a great one … especially one that describes Lindsey! She has been through so much (and you’ve been through it all with her) and she overcomes it to be an amazing young lady.

Ms Inserra, I know you already know that Lindsey is amazing. However, I will repeat it anyway. Lindsey is so strong and so brave and she is such a fighter. I thank you on behalf of everyone who’s lives she has and will touch. You raised a stupendous woman. I often find I feel guilty that I hate this disease considering it spared my childhood. I can’t imagine being a mother and having to stand by and watch my child fight this monster.
