@triballawyer I am so very sorry to see this. You gave him a beautiful life just as he poured love into yours. This is an incredibly hard loss - and my thoughts are with you.

Today we honor the memory of all those we lost on September 11, 2001. May we never forget their stories – and the bravery of our first responders and troops who sacrificed so much.

@BethMooreLPM Breaking Free helped me beyond words. It gave me words for my wounds and helped me find freedom. I did it twice.
Then found out that my dearest friend did Breaking Free, with the same results, years before I met her. Thank you.

In 1922, a team of scientists visited Toronto General Hospital, where wards housed numerous diabetic children.

Many of these children were in a comatose state and on the brink of death due to diabetic ketoacidosis.

As a result of the amount of deaths, scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.

As they commenced injecting the final comatose child, the first one to receive the injection started to regain consciousness.

Subsequently, one by one, all the children emerged from their diabetic comas.

During the early 1920s, Frederick Banting, Charles Best and John Macleod discovered insulin.

Both Banting and Macleod were awarded Nobel Prizes in 1923.

James Collip played a crucial role in refining insulin, which was instrumental in enabling its effective application in diabetes treatment.

Banting declined to have his name included on the patent and opted to sell it to the University of Toronto for a mere $1.

He believed it unethical to seek profit from a discovery destined to save countless lives.

“Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.

In 2019, the average cost was $58 per insulin fill, typically for a 30-day supply.

@Morbidful These guys are my heroes. They are the reason my daughter, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 8, is alive. This story always makes me cry with a grateful heart.

Our shirts with Jesus breaking a gun have been *sold out* but we just got more in all sizes!!! They are printed locally by our friends at Camden Printworks — made on fair-trade shirts, with eco-friendly water-based ink, creating local jobs. Proceeds go to support our work to prevent gun violence and suicide.

Holding that grudge against your father (or the father of your children) is killing you.

Let it go.

Forgive him because you’ve been forgiven.

Go in peace.
