I shed tears for your journey and ours. It is indeed with gratitude that can never be expressed enough for the wonderful medical professionals who have accompanied us as we navigate our unique situations.<br /><br />Knitting/crocheting has been a lifesaver for us and I'm thankful for all who have contributed to that gift also.<br /><br />Yes, your beautiful daughter, Julia, will be okay.

You have occasionally alluded to it during the years I have followed you. In a much earlier life I was a "special ed infant specialist" and it was rare that I was able to hear how my precious babies continued through their lives. So I not only have learned more about an online friend that I appreciate and admire but I openly project such happy endings for my former little ones. You sent me a sweet note after the passing of my own Julie last June and my heart opened to you then. Thank you for these glimpses into your life. I send all good wishes<br /> to you, to Julia,to Mark.

I am blinking back tears. I first met you many years ago at a knitting guild meeting in North Reading where you were our exciting and inspiring guest speaker from Classic Elite. I've watched and marveled from afar and enjoyed all your blog posts in the past few years. Julia (my real name, too!) has grown into a beautiful young woman. I feel like you are always there encouraging and leading the way in our artist's journeys and toiling away on the farm as you do it.

I can relate as I too have had a journey with my daughters who are both Type 1 diabetics. But my eldest who was diagnosed at age 6, experienced insulin rejection and was hospitalized a total of 3 years over a 5-year period during her teens--not easy. We too were blessed with a doctor we called St. Nick (John Nicholson) at Babies Hospital in NYC. Thank God for these doctors and the nurses who saw us through (we are still friends with one of the nurses). Julia is a beautiful young woman and is blessed to have you and your husband as parents.
