What would life be like after a cure?
I wouldn't WORRY anymore that I will go upstairs and not be able to wake Love Bug up in the morning.
I wouldn't have to listen to Love Bug cry and scream when she is LOW.
I wouldn't have to see her glassy eyes when she is HIGH.
I wouldn't have to POKE her little fingers 8-10 times a day.
I wouldn't have to look at her PUMP as a machine that keeps my baby a live.
I wouldn't feel the need to throw a mommy temper tantrum in the middle of the night when I am so FRUSTRATED I can't see straight.
I wouldn't find test strips all over my house ANYMORE.
I wouldn't have to tell Love Bug she CAN'T eat something because her sugar is to high or low.
I wouldn't have to hear Love Bug say, "I DON'T want to change my site mom, can't we do it tomorrow?"
I would be SHOUTING. (at the top of my lungs) PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!
I would start CRYING uncontrollably.
I would be full of HOPE
I would be giddy with EXCITEMENT
I would be able to SLEEP an entire night for the first time in over a year.
I would be able to walk out of the house with JUST my purse.
I would be able to talk to people about her diagnosis without bursting out in tears of sadness but tears of JOY.
I would be able to hug Love Bug and tell her everything will be okay, and REALLY mean it.
I would be able to BURN all of her diabetes supplies, and I would throw a BIG party to do it!
I would SLEEP, a lot.
I would be able to CELEBRATE her CURE DAY instead of dreading her diagnosis day every year.
I would be able to BREATHE knowing Love Bug will live a full and healthy life without the worries of this horrible disease.
I would SLEEP . (did I mention that before?)
Now, if only the DREAM was a REALITY.

Well said, and I'm right there with you <3
It has been an emotional week and day for me today...including one of those "mommy tantrums" as you call it. Crying over this post and agree 100%.
This week has been so amazing. I've enjoyed reading all the posts...today's post has stirred up so much emotion.
It's going to be hard to wake up tomorrow...back in reality...
Ahhhhh . . . Yes! Sleep. There would be a lot of sleeping D-Moms.
Thanks for sharing a great week. It's been amazing reading all of the posts.
Sleep, sleep and more sleep.
Tears, tears and more tears...of joy!
This was beautiful and I am waiting for it to become a reality too.
So glad to know I'm not the only one throwing hissy fits in the middle of the night from the frustration of it all ;).
I hope to celebrate one day with you and share in the tears of joy.
