We sort of celebrate each year since Charlotte's diaversary is on Halloween...we don't make it a big deal, but make note of it and let her have some of her Halloween candy before stashing it away for lows. I think the grieving process is totally normal...even 5-1/2 years out it still cycles around at times and D-day is always bittersweet for us! <br />((((HUGS)))) to you!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076913678173752057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313668326221993953.post-78615839123551981672011-03-08T20:31:27.196-05:002011-03-08T20:31:27.196-05:00A mother's love is intense.

So I completely understand your feelings. <br /><br />But, thank goodness, her life was saved! Thank goodness for a correct diagnosis!

Focusing on the "what ifs" (diabetes and otherwise) all the time, makes for missing amazing moments most of the time. <br />I was diagnosed on Halloween, when I was 8 years old. I wanted nothing more to trick or treating with my friends and go out in my costume. <br />Every Halloween since, (and there's been over 30 of them) I celebrate and have fun!<br />Sending you and yours lots of LOVE and HUGS! <br />Kelly Kk2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04167099133092135850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4313668326221993953.post-25584264786051265632011-03-08T16:36:00.603-05:002011-03-08T16:36:00.603-05:00To celebrate or not to celebrate, you only know th...To celebrate or not to celebrate, you only know the right answer to that for you and your family.
