It was hard to deal with this like Superman had failed his family. It was just my Toe, throughout the healing process I met many who lost more than I.
I am grateful for all that I have. I am very thankful to all the people whom I have met who have educated me and have helped me deal with my Diabetes. I am diabetic, it has been hard to admit.
