It just stinks when we can’t take away our kids pain and sickness…whether physical or of the heart. And you know I’ll be praying for that little girl of yours.

I only made it a few sentences in before I broke into tears. I never knew I could experience such intense pain, until one of my kids was hurt/sick. The wounds go deep and somehow I feel like I’ve let them down…

Great post, Billy. You are a wonderful daddy and your family is truly blessed!

Billy, God bless you, her and the rest of your family. My heart breaks and tears fall as I read this and realize what you all go through, daily. And, I know how much my brother worries about his precious granddaughter. Your daughter and a cure for diabetes is always a part of my prayers. Love and prayers for you and yours!

I can’t imagine four years of these nightly visits. You are truly her knight in shining armor. Billy, God has bless you with great love and sweetness to combat the inferior weapons of doubt & grief. No weapon formed against you shall remain…

Beautifully written. And powerful especially for those of us who have experienced what it is like to “huddle and rock” in the dark.

Okay, this made me cry. The very atmosphere of the room set me up for what comes next . . . an unknown, yet something I knew was not going to be good.

What an emotional picture you gave us, Billy. Your precious baby girl in your arms as she nibbles on live-giving . . . Skittles!

Heartbreakingly poignant but beautifully sketched.
