This is about Deborah’s introduction to her lifelong companion known as “Diabetes.” What she thought was a week-long illness turned out to be more than that, a getting-to-know-you journey that eventually will have its way when she reaches the last day on earth. Until then, the living is in the living, and the story began when Deborah was six.
