Maybe that would help you know what direction to take. I too think we need to gaurd sacredly our personal family experiences but there are ways to reach out to others and inspire and uplift with everyday experiences without having to disclose too many personal details. When I read about other moms and their feelings and emotions it helps me know I'm not alone. You seem like one amazing mother an your sweet daughter is BEAUTIFUL. Wishing you and her the best!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15366995066707531947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-37394353439571698972014-04-03T22:48:30.140-04:002014-04-03T22:48:30.140-04:00I just found your blog.

But then, what a child would approve a teenager or adult (looking back) might feel differently. <br /><br />I think you are doing a great job even considering this and by keeping her name mostly out of it. It is a delicate battle that I am selfishly glad I don't have to fight.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834565473474357037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255735347955921173.post-85338250299561617502014-03-13T14:59:38.160-04:002014-03-13T14:59:38.160-04:00My not so smart phone cut me off before I was fini...My not so smart phone cut me off before I was finished. I wanted to say that I applaud you and all of the awesome D moms that are brave enough and kind enough to put their stories out there. Thank you.

My daughter has autism and T1D ( relatively newly diagnosed with T1D) one of the things I get from reading blogs like yours is understanding the things my child doesn't have words to say. My child can't tell me how she feels so I love to hear how typical kids feel when they are high or low, or if they are self conscious. Diabetes has helped me to realize that my daughter is still having these feelings she just doesn't know how to express what she's feeling. She hardly shows it when she's hurt or sick but I realize that she's feeling the stress anyway its just much harder to see. I can totally understand your daughters need for privacy and that needs to be respected....but I will miss your awesome posts.

I blogged about her diagnosis and her first diaversary, but after that I kind of stopped. It's tricky. I'm sure you'll find a way to express yourself. Reading about what you go through is helpful to other parents, and I'm thinking that if your daughter knows that she would be on board and understand why you tell your story here. :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947885587937096585noreply@blogger.com
