I was useless and no help to her mother at all I just carried on as normal pretending nothing is wrong leaving everything to my wife, but to all fathers out there who are scared don't be it gets easier as time goes by and my little girl has turned beautiful and now manages well.

The rudeness from Matthew Wright rather than just saying a very quick 'I'm sorry if I offended you, it was not meant' has triggered a unity I've not seen in the T1 world for a long time. I've followed it on twitter and have been astounded by his tweets to young people with T1 and their parents. Appalling journalism, if you can even call it that as I do believe he says he is a journalist !! Thank you for your blog :-) xx Mum to Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458938585274102929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119828565511601708.post-62196047896843464192014-04-20T09:59:14.662-07:002014-04-20T09:59:14.662-07:00Beautiful!...

Thankyou for a beautifully written piece that echos the thoughts, fears and hopes of all of us mothers who struggle to understand and support our children with this cruel chronic disease. mel slamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912093161092092152noreply@blogger.com
