seeds of hope- a garden for children with type 1 diabetes
TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to our garden…help plant a seed…nourish a flower…
Make a difference in the lives of children with Diabetes
“Comes the Dawn,”by Veronica A. Shoffstall.
After a while you learn the subtle differenceBetween holding a hand and chaining a soul,And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security,And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises,And you begin to accept your defeatsWith your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,And you learn to build all your roads on today,
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learnThat even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.And you learn and learn...
With every goodbye you learn.

Being a certified diabetes educator is more than teaching. It is holding a hand. It is offering support through coaching and empowerment. It is acceptance, respect and non-judgmental. It is believing that all things are possible. It is learning and growing and becoming. It is the honor of being a part of other people’s journeys. It is advocating for awareness, rights and plights.
It is a passion!

This garden is planted in honor of my grandmother, Wanita Lockett. I carry her faith with me, knowing that every seed that is planted has the potential to grow. A single yellow rose seems simple, but it is enough to make someone smile, their heart sing, lift a sad mood, give the gift of faith and hope.
This garden is intended to help families living with diabetes to be able to reach out and share their stories, offer a source of support and guidance as well as pay tribute to the challenges and triumphs of raising children with diabetes.
Instead of waiting for someone to bring us flowers, let’s plant a garden! If you would like to know how you can be a part of the garden or contribute to the garden, contact Michelle at [email protected]
