Tommorow is the "Date" it all happened

[Mama2H]

but today feels like the day. Friday the 13th 2006. So far no tears but I feel strange and sad. My day started today just like it did a year ago and it gave me the heeby geebies. Same childcare kids, same hours, same routine (kinda). For some reason I was nervous to go wake Hailey this morning, just remembering how she looked that morning when I went to wake her to take her to the Dr. I know you all understand..........

Zach's anniversary was this week too. Oct 10, 2004. We've been at this for 3 years now.

Seems like yesterday. Seems like a lifetime.

Nicole, Our 1 year mark was hard. I almost didn't pull out of it. Joey's Bday was the day that she displayed symptoms and I took her to the hospital, but no one officially said she had D until the next day, so as to not taint Joey's Bday, Julia's dx date is the day after. On Joey's Bday this year I still had that feeling of impending doom, and it felt more like the day, because it was the day that Shane and I knew, despite the doctor having not said it yet. So while I keep the date as the 22nd, the 21 will remain that day for me no matter how hard I try. We donated some toys and a few books to the children's ward where Julia was dx'd on that date, and had a dinner of Julia's choice. We had left over cake from Joey's bday so we had cake 2 days in a row for desert.

(((hugs))) to you guys. It isn't easy. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Jamie

Today is *the day* for us. I'm fine with it... it's just another day to me. I know lots of people celebrate it so I would love some ideas on what to do to make it special for her and celebrate her accomplishment. Mymother in law is visiting and thinks we give Reese too much attn with diabetes though, so I may postpone it until tomorrow when she leaves. :)

I hope some day I can feel this way, maybe next year...

Thank you Michelle. I just feel strange, I don't quite know how to describe it. Kind of like a piece of me is missing.
