Summer is almost over around here. You may have until after Labor day, but our kids go back to class on Monday. Enough time for one last camp story.
Both my kids go away to camp, for almost four weeks, about four hours away from our home. They love it and have been doing it for years. It’s not a diabetes camp and while I worry, we’ve worked hard with the cooperative and fabulous staff to make this a safe and fun experience.
Every year, a few counselors write notes for the kids to open in the car on the way home. This was Benny’s:
When we got home, Benny put this on our fridge (he never puts anything there) and I have a feeling it’s going to stay up for a while. Thank you, Dylan, for making my son feel like a super hero. Managing diabetes is a difficult and relentless task. How nice to have someone notice and let you know you’re doing great.
