You Would Never Know...

There is a tag that goes with this one (see next frame).  The following is written on the back of the layout:

Our daughter Morgan was diagnosed with Diabetes when she was 2 1/2 years old.  For the longest time, she thought she was the only one her age that had this disease.  

At 8 years old she was able to start going to Lion's Camp for a week every summer.  This past summer was her third year to attend.  Every year when we go pick her up, I am reduced to tears when I see 250+ other kids that are just like her all in the same place at the same time.

The friends that she has made have truly helped her to cope with her disease.  For them (and Lion's Camp) we are thankful!  

When I look at this picture, the first thought that comes to heart and mind (every time) is &quot;You would never know&quot; - when I stopped searching for the perfect title... it occurred to me that it had been there all along.

You really would never know to look at them that these 5 girlfriends fight with their diabetes, blood sugars, counting carbohydrates, shots, insulin pumps, the &quot;why me&quot; feelings and ALL ELSE that goes with their daily care.  They don't look any different than all of their regular school friends.  

They truly are an inspiration to me!  They (and all others that live with a chronic illness) are my HEROES.

&quot;Mariah, Hailey, Morgan, Whitney and Carsen... ROCK ON!&quot;

Note:  Our daughter Morgan is the tall one in the middle.  They are listed in the sentence above in the order they appear in the picture.
