“The sad, slightly sobbing cloud of people. My family new it was going to happen one day. Diabetes, it hit me like puberty hit Katy Perry. No one ever asks for this lifelong disease, but it happens. Today I was at this restaurant, and my server comes over and his pump goes off and I say “o.m.g is that your pump “ and he responds” yea.”Also, he was a super polite server. Now think how many times would you see someone with their pump in a restaurant.

 It was just a interesting experience. Now the next day my family and I were at the pool and had so much fun and when we were leaving I noticed something on this girl’s arm it was her C.G.M (constant glucose monitor) and I go “ wow is that your C.G.M.”and she responds “omg how did you know”?Also, that was only on that one weekend. Diabetiese has its ups and downs but one of the ups is that every year I go up in the mountains and go to diabetes camp for a week . I made so many new friends that have diabetes. This I believe is the best place to go to be yourself. “My life has been a roller coaster”. My grandma Grammy died when I was a one year old. 

Also, when I was six my father left my family. Now that  i’m nine I get diagnosed with diabetes. My life is crazy, but life is life and I love it. For a couple years now i've been trying to get in contact with him but he doesn't answer me when I try.  My biological father is using a paying method under the table. Under the table is when you have child care you're not paying and you get paid in cash not check. When he left us for sure is when he had visitation rights and so we met at this king soopers so he could pick us up. I waited for two hours and he never came. He broke my haert and he never came back. This I believe is my crazy life.
