Confessions Sunday – Taste of Diabetes

without comments

Confession #11

Bloodletting

He kept saying I tasted like Mountain Dew, a flavor he loved and could not get enough of.
He started calling me “Sweet”

Do you know you taste like Mountain Dew? Have you ever been told?

A few months later I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month
November 14th is World Diabetes Day
November is also my diabetes diagnosis month

Confession #10

Mac Station

Sometimes I allow myself to lay around watching Ghanian movies all day, and well into the night.

Confessions Sunday – Fears and phobias

Confession #9

Side walk

I cannot watch cartoons they scare me.

As a kid I will scream and cry, running away from the TV whenever cartoons of any kind comes on.

Irrational fear?

You may think so

Confession #8

Ancestors

For the past 20 years my grandaunt has been requesting –

I want to see you one last time before I die. Please come visit me in Ghana

Lately I think I have kept her alive by not visiting her, I am afraid if I visit she will die and I do not want her to die.

Today I am in my favorite European city. I love our temporary apartment located in the historic district, Le Marais in Paris, France

Je vous souhaite une merveilleuse journée
