I am going to re-post this for the 2011 Diabetes Blog week. Today is Day 2 which is to write a letter to Diabetes.
This is part of a wego health health activist group blog project. The assignment is to write a letter to your disease. This is a little dark for me, but I am not a fan of diabetes, obviously.
Dear Diabetes,
Here is how I really feel about you.
Diabetes is not a person. It is not a thing. It is a place.
I am here even if I don't want to be.
I have to keep moving even if I am tired.
I have to be brave even if I am scared.
I have to try to put a puzzle together in the dark. The pieces constantly change their shapes.
I'm uncomfortable most of the time.
I can't leave.
With an unexpected miracle, I have left that place.
It haunts me and I fear going back.
I meet people from that place and feel sorry that they are still there.
I am trying to destroy that place.
To read more letters submitted for this project, go here. (wego health)

I love what you have to say to diabetes. Dark? I don't know - I'd say more honest. And honest is so important.
Thanks for sharing- the Dr Seuss pants were a really scary thing too!
