My daughter loves ice cream and asks for it all the time. The other night after I got home from work, Penny asks me for ice cream. I tell her no, because we have to eat dinner first. In her toddler, 3 yr old way, she continues to ask me for the ice cream for the next 20 minutes...until my patience wears thin and I tell her not to ask me again. I go in the kitchen and start to make dinner. About 10 minutes into my dinner prep when Penny comes into the kitchen holding the collar of her shirt. She strokes her collar a bit telling me she is hot. "Mom, I'm so hot. So very hot....I need ice cream." ...cue me laughing my head off.
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....
