Jonas Obsessed

Taylar has always loved music and dancing.  It really is something she is passionate about.  This year will be her 5th year of dance lessons and there is always music playing in our house.  So enter a music group with a band member who has type one diabetes and you have one obsessed kid.  Taylar is officially a bit obsessed with the Jonas Brothers.  The youngest brother Nick who has type one like her to be exact. 

On the anniversary of her diagnosis my husband and I gave her tickets to one of their upcoming concerts!  We spent waayy too much money on these VIP tickets but it doesn't matter.  She deserves it.  It was the perfect way to tell her how proud we are of her and the way she has handled all she has been through during this past year.  Finger pricks, carb couting, multiple daily injections, switching to a pump... it has been a lot and she has handled it like the "rock star" she is.

 Nick Jonas wrote a song about his diagnosis when he was 13 years old.  Here are the lyrics:

A Little Bit Longer

Got the news today

Doctor said I had to stay

A little bit longer and I'll be fine

When I thought it'd all be done

When I thought it'd all been said

A little bit longer and I'll be fine

But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone

And you don't know what it's like to feel so low

And every time you smile or laugh you glow

You don't even know, no, no.

You don't even know.

All this time goes by

Still no reason why

A little bit longer and I'll be fine.

Waitin' on a cure

But none of them are sure

A little bit longer and I'll be fine

But you don’t know what you got 'til it's gone

You don’t know what it’s like to feel so low.

And every time you smile or laugh you glow

You don’t even know, no, no.

You don’t even know, no, no.

You don’t even know, no.

But you don't know what you got 'til it's gone.

And you don't know what it's like to feel so low, yeah!

And every time you smile or laugh you glow

You don’t even know!

Yeah!

So I'll wait 'til kingdom come.

All the highs and lows are gone.

A little bit longer and I'll be fine.

I’ll be fine.
