Saying Goodbye Sucks
Last week I wrote about meeting my new diabuddy, this week I
am writing about losing one of my diabuddies. The most important diabuddy, my first diabuddy. Sarah is the person who got me
involves in my diabetes group, my diabetic co-worker, and friend. She is just
as passionate about diabetes as am I, if not more. And yesterday we celebrated
her as she begins a new journey in life.
I hate goodbyes, they are hard, and well, I hate change, but
I know this is going to be an awesome time for Sarah and seeing the room filled
with people who she has impacted over the years was amazing. We looked around
and selfishly wanted her to stay because she has to say goodbye to too many of
us. But then we put our selfishness aside and realized that there are so many
more people she will touch in her new life and we would be selfish not to let
her go.
I am going to miss her. She was my diabetes security
blanket. When I was in need of a few units before I could get my prescription refilled,
she helped me out. She was always
available at work when my numbers were low or if I had a question about how she
handled certain situations with her diabetes. I wish her the best of luck in
her new endeavors and hope she knows she will not be easy to replace.
Love you Daley!! I have no idea who I am going to call now when I'm short on insulin!! You will carry on the diabetes group well :)
