Growing Up at Camp

As I sent my boy Lucas 11years old off to( Camp Midicha) diabetes camp. He was so excited to be there. I kept saying goodbye waiting for him to come and give me a kiss but the football was already in play. I thought to myself he is growing up and I did not want to ask in front of his friends so I wont ask him for one.Before camp he was scared to put in his own site ---one week later he was putting his own site in. He was scared to give himself injections but now he can.I got my kiss when he came home but it was a a boy who is growing up to be a confident, brave and wonderful young man
