Today is my daughters 23rd birthday. That's not the sad part of course. From kindergarten until about 8th grade she had a best friend named Brittany. They drifted apart in high school but were inseparable all through grade school. Brittany spent a lot of time at our house and I had to call her mom before everytime I fed the kids because she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes around age 4. Earlier today Brittany went into a diabetic coma and never woke up. A very sad day, and my heart is hurting for her poor mom.
