Today my brother Roddy would have turned 32. Pics here are of his first b'day, back in 1975. As many readers of this blog already know, Roddy died in 2005 from diabetic ketoacidosis. He died on the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere (March 21). Our son Henry was born on first day of spring here in the southern hemisphere--a sure sign of rebirth in the world.
In other memorial news: This past weekend, Team Hot Rod raised over $5K for diabetes research in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes in Manhattan. The second annual walk benefiting my brother's memorial fund was very very wet, but friends and family braved the downpour & my mom, at least, even enjoyed it.
Missing my brother -- and wishing he could have been an uncle to Henry --

Cintra, a very touching tribute to your brother who was your biggest fan. Thank you. DRS
I don't even know if this blog is still active. My son is 6 years old. He was diagnosed with Diabetes on Christmas after becoming very will with Diabetic Ketoacidosis. His levels were 855 and if we waited any longer, he may have died. While researching diabetes, I came across this picture. I wish you and your family well.
