November is National Diabetes Awareness Month. And, while I think it's important to spread awareness about the what the disease is (and for those around Savanna to know how to take care of her if the need arises), I think it's equally important to remember that Savanna is MORE than Diabetes! We have been so lucky, over the last 3 years, to have family & friends who really understand what T1D is, how to take care of Savanna, are willing to take care of her, and do not exclude her from events, parties, and activities. They have remembered who she really is, what she loves, and what is important to her. I know not all children and families get that, but we are forever grateful to all who remember that she is so much more than the disease she was diagnosed with:
Until there is a cure...xoxo
