Well on 19th May 2007 I was going to be 13. Wow! I hadn't even thought of the fact that I was going to be a teenager because all I could think about was the fabulous party my mum was arranging for me. I asked my mum if I could have 13 people at my party and she said that was okay so I left my mum a note before I went to bed. "Please mum will you print my birthday invitations so I can take them to school tomorrow" so she did. The invitations were great. They invited my friends to come for a beauty makeover including eyebrow shaping and make-up. We were then having a walk down town (obviously to show off a bit) and then coming back to a feast of a barbecue. My birthday invitations got all my friends really excited and I couldn't wait for the big day. Mum said she would get me up mid-morning if I fancied a lie-in and then we could walk down to our favourite butcher shop for the speciality sausages and some steak burgers. I was excited about the barbecue but more excited about the make-over.
My daughter, Danielle Watson was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when she was 7 years old. She was one of many in our family with this hereditary condition. I have Type 1 and use an Insulin Pump to help to control my own diabetes. This story is about my beautiful daughter and how my life changed dramatically when my angel died in her sleep. The cause of death was Dead In Bed Syndrome. I write more on this subject on another blog as I have many questions.
