Today we met with our local state representative to discuss how we can partner up and raise awareness for type 1 diabetes. This was Clay's first taste of politics and it went well.
He told me before hand that he was a little nervous. This led to a discussion on doing something that we may be nervous about, scared of, etc. is a hard thing, but it can help so many other children. We talked about if someone feels like changes need to be made or awareness is needed on a subject you can't wait for someone else to do it. God has blessed us with the ability to connect with someone who is in a position to do something positive for this disease.
Our plan is not to be the family who only deals with this in our small circle of family and friends. We want to be the family that people in the community know by the cause we fight for. There is such a potential for this to grow and really make a positive difference for type 1 research.
I'm so excited I feel like playing patriotic music and popping fireworks!!
