 But yes, full pun intended in addition to nicely played if I create tell in addition to thus myself! 

Not to larn all diabetes biblical, but I’ve seen diabetes giveth in addition to I’ve seen diabetes taketh away. 

Diabetes has taken away people I dearest in addition to I am forever changed because of losing them. 

Diabetes has screwed amongst my autoimmune system,  my banking concern account, non to refer my pancreas.

But diabetes has given me strength,and tenacity in addition to a pump filled amongst promise that keeps me afloat. 

Even during those times amongst diabetes when I was at my lowest, my promise continued to float - fifty-fifty when I wasn't  aware that I genuinely had hope, allow solitary was belongings onto it - through both fossil oil waters in addition to calm.

My promise became my ain beacon of lite in addition to tenacity in addition to humor, in addition to that promise has atomic number 82 me to a beautiful community filled amongst rays of lite inwards the cast of.... YOU, the Diabetes On-Line in addition to Off-Line Community. 

So give thank you lot you all for shining in addition to thus magnificently! 

My greatest accomplishment inwards my 35 years of life amongst diabetes, is belongings on to my promise that floats - through through the loss in addition to the burnout...  and remembering that my lite from inside shines along amongst the lite that you lot all radiate.
