30 Days of Me - Day 13

I generally don't allow myself to get hurt by people.  However, I have been hurt by diabetes and this is my letter to it.  I must admit, I bawled while writing it.  I don't seem very nice but what can I say.  I hate it!

Re:  I HATE YOU!!!

Dear Diabetes,

I would like to start off by saying that you are mean, evil and unfair.  You suck!!

Along with millions of other people, I wish that you did not exist.  You are a monster and I hate you.  I know that it is not nice of me to be so mean as to hate but sadly it is the truth.  I hate you.  I really do.  I am quite certain that people who have Lupus, Cancer and other diseases feel the way about their disease as I feel about you.

Why did you do this to my baby, to my sweet innocent baby boy?  What did he do to deserve this?  Nothing, he did nothing to deserve this.

There is a difference between the two types of your diseases and I only wish that Type 1 didn’t exist.  It is the only one that cannot be prevented.  No one deserves to have part of their body shut down and not work for them.

Luckily my son doesn’t really know how evil you can be.  He will soon though, he is one smart cookie (He loves his cookies and as you know Diabetics can still eat sugar. I wish people knew that).  I keep my feelings about you bottled up inside away from him but eventually he will draw his own conclusions about you.  People always do.  Not one person I know sees you as a good thing for their life.

There is no doubt in my mind that we will find a cure to beat you once and for all.  We may not find it today, tomorrow or next week but we will find it.

Until then, you better watch your back ‘cause Lil’ Man is going to beat you when you aren’t looking.

With repugnance,
