Memories - DBlog Week Day 3
Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 8:12AM Today we’re going to share our most memorable diabetes day. You can take this anywhere.... your or your loved one's diagnosis, a bad low, a bad high, a big success, any day that you’d like to share.
Since I have found the DOC I have had many days that are memorable. All the meetups, my first trip to Friends for Life, the summits and conventions I have been invited to, and of course the Tour de Cure last year.
But the most memorable one for me was my 20th Diaversary weekend.
When I saw that my 20 year anniversary of diagnosis was falling on a Saturday AND there was a JDRF walk scheduled that same day near by I knew I wanted to take it to the next level. And I did!
Not only did family and friends fly in for the walk but we had a big party afterwards and a weekend full shinanigans.
I felt special, not alone, surrounded, loved. Most of all I felt loved.
Not many people can say that wholeheartedly and believe me, I do not take it lightly. I realize how blessed I am to have so many around me that love me. I always feel unworthy and undeserving. So I hope I show them the love right back.

Awesome memory! Love. It's what it's all about!
I remember that! Couldn't be there but you put together a fantastic slide show.
Great memory, George! Brings back smiles thinking about it again, and being able even virtually to share in that experience of knowing how this community comes together for friends. Thanks for sharing this, bro.
YAY!!!
I loved that day too! And I think it was the day my mom finally "got" our whole diabetes community thing too! :D
Dude, that weekend was something very special for a lot of us.
It's not everyday you can walk into Walmart at 2AM and be greeted by weirdo's... waitaminute... maybe that's not true...

Aw I love your story! Thanks for sharing :)
