Embracing diabetes

Tom oftens says "it sucks" when referring to being a diabetic, but last night when I joked with him about it sucking to be a diabetic he actually said it was okay and that let me know that for at least last night he was finally embracing the FACT that he is a diabetic and is okay...I burst into tears...halleluiah! the condition is not going to go away, so for him to accept it...priceless. (took 25+ years, but that's okay...we all have to accept things in our own time).
