Because of Todd, I learned that diabetes doesn’t make me less — it makes me unique 💙 #NeverBeAshamed #T1DStrong

I never thought I’d make it to this moment — senior pictures in my prom dress, showing the world that diabetes doesn’t take away your sparkle.

The day I got my first insulin pump, I finally felt a little more in control. A little more free. Every step forward in this journey reminds me that I’m still fighting — and still winning.

October 27th, 2014 — the day I was diagnosed.

In that hospital room, I found my strength — and I found God. What began as fear became the start of a journey filled with faith, hope, and purpose.

October 31, 2014 — the day I finally came home. I had no idea then how strong I would need to be, but looking back, I’m so proud of how far that little girl has come. One of my dearest friends, Todd Kellner, brightened my days in the hospital with a thoughtful cheer-up basket that included an Elsa dress and doll — small gifts that brought big comfort and hope.

I got glasses just months before my diagnosis — maybe God was preparing me to see life differently 💙👓 #FaithOverFear

For Xember — and every kid who’s ever been curious. It’s okay to ask questions. It’s okay to learn. That’s how we make the world kinder 💙📚

They said I’d never graduate, but God said ‘watch her.’ 🎓💙 #FaithOverFear #T1DStrong

Rockin’ my Dexcom — or as I like to call him, Dexter 💪💙

Faith over fear, always. I can do all things through Christ — even life with diabetes 💪💙
