Today I celebrated my 16th birthday. Last night, 2 of my closest friends spent the night at my house. We pretty much just sat up all night and ate candy and talked about everything. I've only known these guys for 3 years, but they made me feel so welcome in a new school when I moved and we've been inseperable since the day we met. We went to Irish college together, went through difficult times, be it losing a friend or family member, or just life, but we've always come out the other end with the help of each other. When I was diagnosed, they were the BEST. They learned all about my diabetes and knew what to do if I went low, and could see the warning signs, sometimes before I could. I was so glad to be able to spend my birthday with these guys, Nicola and Jamie. Many friends come and go during school but it takes certain situations and experiences to tell who your real friends are. These guys have always been here from me and I can always count on them.
On Saturday, i'm having a big party to celebrate my 16th birthday. Friends i've known since before I could walk will be here, and my close family. I can't wait. Since I moved, I don't see my friends in Dublin as often as i would like. But when we reunite it's like we've never been apart. We just have that bond. They don't know a whole lot about my diabetes, but they try to understand, they're simply not with me enough to know anything.
I feel lucky as hell to know all these people. And I can't wait to celebrate it.
Pray for no rain. Please.
