Nobody knows

No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from
Where the wind goes.

It is flying from somewhere
As fast as can be,
I couldn't keep up with it
Not if I ran.

But if I stopped holding

The string of my kite,

It would blow with the wind

for a day and a night.

And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.

So, then I could tell them,
Where the wind goes...
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.

This is one of my favorite poems, Wind on the Hill by A.A. Milne and while it is talking about the wind...I hear diabetes every time I read it now. I don't know why but that last line gets to me every time. Where does diabetes come from? Where does it hide? Where is it taking us? Could I have stopped it from coming if I had tried? What if it never existed? What would our life be like without it? These are just some of the questions among so many more that float into my head from time to time and I know nobody knows the answers...

But I wish I did...

I have been having a hard time lately keeping up with it...diabetes that is... and a couple of times I have stopped holding it's string or at least not holding it as tightly and have had a hard time getting a firm grip back again. The wind must have changed directions...

We ultimately have to go wherever diabetes takes us...so I will continue to blow to that place even if I don't want to because this ride is for Our Sugar Babies life and nobody really knows for how long that will be but I hope with all my heart it's a very long and happy one filled with many wonderful and even less not so wonderful diabetes moments...

So, I will continue to keep trying to make our "D" life the best one it can be, even if it means I may have to ride on top of that kite myself or even let go of the string every once in awhile...

For no one can tell me, Nobody knows,
Where diabetes comes from, Where diabetes goes...
