Cablevision comes to the house today, and the technician asks, "So who is the diabetic?"  I was caught off guard, but Jimmy answered right away in a loud, confident voice, "I AM! Do you have diabetes, too?"

Turns out that he saw Jimmy's  blood glucose meter (aka tester) on the table... He is also a type 1 diabetic who was diagnosed at 10.  He's now 37, married, 2 children, and in total control of his health.  Who does he have to thank?  His family and CAMP NEJEDA!!!

I'm so thankful for the family weekends at Camp Nejeda both last year and this year on Father's Day Weekends... 2 AMAZING experiences and need blog posts to describe... but in the meantime, Jimmy was granted a spot this summer for one week at Camp Nejeda's sleep away camp!!!!! Although I was a basket case while he was gone (missing him, etc...), I was so proud of him that he went! All I got when I dropped him off was, "Bye Mom!" with a smile and a wave - just like that, he was off!

So much more to come about camp... but his face in this picture says it all (he's on the left :)
 
Also, check out this note he sent us from camp:

(Translation: "I am having a great time at camp. Love Jimmy. Thank you Dad for paying for this."

Gotta love him!!!
Peace, June
