Oh dear, all these posts making me cry!!! This is a lovely, heartfelt letter to amazing Nate. You are a wonderful mother to him and he is so lucky to have you. The last line is something we all secretly mutter under our breath every day, isn't it? Love ya friend.

So, sweet and heartfelt. I wanted to write one to the girls but I am just a little too emotional to do that quite yet. You are a wonderful mother. :)

The beginning got to me. I could, and may end up stealing them, write those exact lines to Joe. I would never want him to read my blog and think he caused any of the sadness...or the ... ahemmm....craziness.

Love this letter. Nate will too. He is amazing like his mother.

Laura, I do love this post!! Beautifully written from your heart!

Wow!!! Reading this through tears and nodding my head! You nailed it! I feel everything you have written and I agree, I don't think I would be half as brave as our kids are! They amaze me EVERYDAY!!!! Great job Laura!!! ((HUGS))

Its 6am and im crying! Beautiful letter. He is so lucky to have you as I am to know you!

Now I must say it.

Booolus meeee! Love him!

Beautiful, Laura. Just beautiful. Same-same heart.

Beautiful letter! Fluid leaking from my eyes! Same-same!

***wiping tears*** Love you, mean it! This letter made a knot in my throat. You speak not only as Nate's Mommy...but for all the Mommies out there! <3 THANK YOU!

Sniff Sniff!!! The letters to the kiddos are the hardest for me to read. I often wonder what Justin will think if he grows up ans reads these posts. I hope he knows it IS also my struggle.

Great letter Laura.

So honest and sincere...brought tears to my eyes.

Love this Laura. SO much. Even though it made me cry.

You are awesome.

Love this. Maybe we all need to remind the kiddos that it is not them creating the sadness. I think it would not dawn on mine that he even could be, he is too busy telling me how awesome he is. lol Boys. Thank you for sharing.

This made me cry. This is so beautiful. He is going to love having these posts. He will thank you one day for being so involved and loving him by taking care of him. Beautiful. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful. You are a wonderful mother, Nate is so lucky to have you in his corner. :)

I am crying along with all of the DOC on this one. He is such a beautiful child! All the D-moms are so amazing!!!!!

That was beautiful!

Totally smiling through tears with the stack of pump belts photo and the 'bolus me, mommy' visual!
I am with you on hoping that Bean never thinks it's her fault D is so hard on me sometimes.
Thanks for sharing!!

Wonderful..Thanks for blogging :)

Oh Laura! Did you pull the words from my head? This is exactly how I feel. This is exactly what I want Sweets to know. Beautiful. Just like Nate. Just like you.

wonderful letter and I just can't believe how fast these kids are growing into amazing little people. thank you for sharing your little sun shine with us!!

I hope he reads this some day, because the message is so wonderful!!!

it is so true, we all may hate diabetes but we LOVE our kids-diabetes and all.
you said this so well. you are a very special mommy to a very special boy.

You amaze and inspire me, Laura. You are such a wonderful mother and Nate is such an amazing child. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and opening your heart to us. Love you!

I just happened to come across your blog as I was looking at photos of continuous glucose monitors on kids...crazy! My daughter Ashlynn was diagnosed at 22 months and will be 9 this August. June will mark 7 years we have dealt with this crappy disease. After reading your blog, all I can say is "thank you". It felt wonderful to know someone else has the same struggles and we are not alone. Your words to Nate were absolutely beautiful. Thanks, Angela in Texas
