I'm sorry about your dad and about your mom. I'm not sure what type 2 diabetes are, but I know with diabetes you have to knock off 10 to 15 years of your life. Once again I'm sorry.

Somebody in my class has had it since she was born.

But she didn't tell us untill, like last month.

It's sad though cause she writes these poems that make everyone in the class start to tear, cause I guess she is made fun of a lot. Her last name is Skipwith, so that starts a lot of it. :guilty:
