I cannot say whethr it will ever get easier. It
is cold comfort to say thank God for insulin. But
for myself, I have a lot of complications and I do
thank God for every new day that I wake up still
kicking. Our circle of friends last week experienced the
death of a friend who just died in his sleep, at age
51, from complications. That man struggled from youth
and it could be said that he relished his life
experiences far more than many who might get another 20 more
years or so than he did. For myself, I think that I
appreciate this world, its beauty, and many joys, perhaps
more than friends who do not have to live with
“impending doom”. Bobby Clarke, GM of the Philadelhia flyers
hockey team is said to be a type 1 diabetic and he seems
to have led every day of his life to its fullest and
to have, perhaps, over-achieved; that is to say
performed beyond other players who could arguably have been
more gifted. So I guess each of us has to play the
hand that we are dealt. In your case it must be quite
lonely at times. god bless you both.
