Just a Normal Person.

One of the biggest things that i worry about these days is the fact that anything could happen to me at any time. Not to many people know that in my 5th grade year on February 14 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It's not something that i like to really talk about but everynow and then i will talk about it.. Just to let things off my chest. Luckily for me i got the better of the diabetes. I knew when i was little that i would probably end up getting it. Because i remember my mom telling me that diabetes skips a generation and since my mom didn't get it... well, i did. I really don't mind it. You know i do have to watch what i eat and i do take medication and i have to check my blood sugar everyday. Sometimes it slips my mind to do those things but i really wish i could get into a good habit in doing that. Diabetes is really big in my family. My grandma's from both sides of the family have it, so i have people who i can go to that have gone through it. Even though i did lose one of my grandma's to diabetes about 5 years ago. R.I.P. Grandma Thomasa. But all in all i'm really glad that my diabetes hasn't gotten in the way of going after my dreams. I just hope that whoever reads this won't think differently about me. I'm just a normal girl with dreams but I have an extra little "gift" that God gave me.
