My saving angel

My mom was there for me since birth. When I was 18 months I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. She helped me through finger pricks and shots. She came to school to give me shots till 2nd grade. When I went into 3rd grade I was the first kid to get the insulin pump in the USA. She comforted me through injections, she even went to special classes to learn. She never left my side to go on a honeymoon until I was in 5th grade. She nurtured me through soccer, baseball, and football. She still never lets me out of her sight.
I LOVE MY MOM FOR IT.
