After taking a little bit of break from swim lessons we headed back in full force last July. We were assigned a new teacher named, Julius, who has just done wonders with Miss P. Not that she was a bad swimmer before but he inspires something in her that i haven't seen with the previous instructors. Anyhow, she has really, really improved as a swimmer. She is just starting to learn the breast stroke and side breathing and even diving off the diving board and she is only 4 years old! It's been a really joy getting up the crack of dawn every Saturday morning to get to our early appointment with Julius because you know your kid is having so much fun and in return is only getting stronger in her skills.
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....
