Caroline, one of my long time girlfriends aka one of my besties, texted me several times on Monday however, my phone was turned off. When I finally saw the text on Tuesday
I knew something was up and tried to call her several times however, it too a while to connect. She insisted on coming over during the weekday. Since the birth of Baby Girl we really don't have friends come over during the week. Not that we don't want them over its just that by the time we get home from work, eat dinner, take a bath and put her to bed its quite late. And, we still have to walk the dog and eat dinner. Sensing it was urgent I said of course. So Caroline came over tonight. After giving her the tour of our new kitchen she started talking about Whistler and announced that she was engaged. I yelled "I knew it!" I knew something was up and I was guessing this might be it. That is when she pulled out a big beautiful ring. Many hugs were had as I tried to extract the important information like the when, the where and the how. P.S. The guy in the picture is not her financee but Flat Stanley, who is visiting us from Houston, Texas.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
