Life is full of surprises, many that knock you down unexpectedly. I just found out that a good friend (and former boss) passed away this weekend from complications of his Type 1 diabetes, which he had managed since childhood. Only a few years older than me, it's so hard to get my head around the fact that he is gone. As I try to make sense out of something that seems senseless, one of the only things that I can hold onto right now is my own effort to stay healthy. Diabetes is in my family history, and I have an increased risk of onset since I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with the boys. Sometimes it feels hard to eat as well as I should, but today is not one of those days. Continuing this journey - with my health, with the health of my family, with the box - seems all the more important today, as I remember my friend who left this world too soon.
In the box this week
