Open letter to Grossie & Ingie

​You two will never know how much you mean to Rowan, myself, and of course our dear Harrison. For every toe prick and glucose test, for ever insulin bolus and every rushed “sugar-feed”, for every nappy change (especially the poo ones Ing), for every tear you’ve consoled, for every hug, for every giggle you’ve spurred, for every nap you’ve had lying close to our boy, for every time you hold his hand, for every moment spent “weeding” in the garden with him, for every walk in the pram – for everything that you do – we could never thank you enough. Aside from Rowan and I, you are the only two people in the world who understand a little bit more about what we go through everyday caring for a Type 1 Diabetic, and one that is so little at that! Looking after a baby boy is one thing, but looking after a Type 1 Warrior is entirely different! You are both incredible and have stepped up to help us in ways we had no idea how to even ask for the help. You are part of a small group of people we call the unsung heroes who care for type one warriors! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
