Denise? -- has a very good eye) and I'd love to write more for her. <BR/><BR/>I've dabbled in kids books now and again. Maybe I'll bind up "Captain Isan and the Buried Treasure" and give it to her for Christmas. I'm not very crafty, but I'm sure the dollarama has some cool stickers and stuff I could scatter here and there.<BR/><BR/>Captain Isan (RIP) is a dog, btw, who becomes a pirate after he loses his leg to cancer and goes to Florida with his human family. He was inspired by a real Akita-dog that I had the pleasure of meeting and living with, although I can't say the same about his owner. LOL <BR/><BR/>Hope you are all well, etc.one_iconoclasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964947562077678358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19558107.post-1162358049403538782006-10-31T23:14:00.000-06:002006-10-31T23:14:00.000-06:00deanna,Thank you, yes she is precious.

She now works at the very clinic/hospital that she used to go to until she was 18. Which is ours of course.<BR/>She is amazing. And talking to her really gives us strength and a very positve outlook on things to come. So i know with you having type 1 will definatley make you an outstanding educator.<BR/>ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00788604201777909431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19558107.post-1162354001152430382006-10-31T22:06:00.000-06:002006-10-31T22:06:00.000-06:00Your daughter sounds precious to me.

I think about all the people I had to talk to growing up, people who didn't HAVE diabetes and I hope that my diabetes will allow me to become a better professional. I can't wait to be able to help out in the fight against diabetes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19558107.post-1162319996712188082006-10-31T12:39:00.000-06:002006-10-31T12:39:00.000-06:00It is true that little ones really make you revert...It is true that little ones really make you revert back toyour basic needs.

Obviously I have since made up my mind -- yep, I do that now and again. LOL <BR/><BR/>Caution: my poems never rhyme, but they always do contain some measure of reason. ;-)<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>"Emma's Jacket"<BR/>It is shining clearly through her little pink-hood, <BR/>and if I look hard enough, <BR/>and narrow my eyes just so,<BR/>almost looking past and through her, beyond the photograph, and into her tomorrow,<BR/>I am certain I can see the outline of the halo,<BR/>inspiring me to take <BR/>my own dust-adled wings <BR/>out of the closet<BR/>and learn again,<BR/>by innocent example,<BR/>what it really means to fly.<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>I hope you get something fast and mildly furious.
