My daughter is a champion because she is 4 and has never once said why me or no to the daunting duties a diabetic has to deal with EVERY single day.(She was diagnosed Dec 27, 2010) She is a champion because she has accepted her diabetes with grace and she patiently allows family and friends in her life to learn about diabetes and how to give insulin. She lets Grama poke her finger more than once because the blood drop was not big enough the first time and instead of crying or getting mad she says “Thats ok Grama”. Lizzie has a pump which has given all of us her childhood back. She is a champion to me because through it all she continued to smile and laugh and never once lost herself in the fear of diabetes.
My daughter is a champion!
