The Question

Today Logan took a shower with me, they both do this from time to time, they LOVE the warm running water. As we got out, something came up about how even though Diabetes is hard, hard hard.. we are so glad for knowing how to take care of it.
Logan got quiet.
He looked up at me, all wrapped in a soft towel, pink cheeks, bright eyes.

"How many days until they find a cure, Mommy?" he asked me.

My heart stopped.

I didn't know exactly what to say.
"I don't know Logan." I said, trying not to cry, "I don't know how many days."

"BUT," I told him, "they will find it." I filled my voice with the confidence that I wish I had to my marrow.
I have to believe it, and he does too.

I just wanted to hold him forever in that soft yellow towel.
