Recently-my daughter received an invitation to attend a tea party. She was through the roof excited-and of course I was too! The hostess was so accommodating. She made sugar free stuff galore and how sweet is that! It’s certainly not every day that someone offers to change their plans to make your little one feel just like everyone else.
Sydney looked adorable. She played and danced and we were having a grand time. And I knew it was coming….the food. Ok..(Swallow, Swallow). There is that nagging feeling in my stomach…carb coverage nagging. It’s wasn’t a normal 34 carb count cupcake. It was a giant sugar free cupcake covered in sugar free fondant icing! Again….(Swallow, Swallow)….55 carbs come to my head….no Jodi…65…Geez… Sydney is patiently looking at me hold onto her plate with the giant Cupcake and finally she says…”Mommy can I eat it now?” Me-“Ok…(Swallow, Swallow)….here you go babe.” I handed over the colossal masterpiece and watched my little cupcake devour every crumb of it. Bite after bite of bliss. I could see it all over her face…joy….
Isn’t that just it? It’s not about today’s carb counts or finger pricks. It’s the little moments like this. Maybe I’ll have to give her a glucose tab or 4 (LOL) later or maybe she’ll need more insulin but that will always be the case. That day…she was just like every other little girl there.
I want to wish you and your family much joy and happiness. As a mother of three I know that this is not easy. Just know that I am here if you want to talk or cry. You are my fam and I will always have a place in my heart for you. <3
