  1. Destiny

Christmas Eve Eve, 2020. My wife rushed our older daughter Harper to the ER while I stayed home with our younger daughter Lennon. It was the midst of the pandemic, only one parent allowed in the hospital. Feeling powerless, I sat at the piano and wrote "Destiny."

Harper's diagnosis was type 1 diabetes. We had no idea what that meant or what it would mean going forward. We had no idea that eighteen months later Lennon would get the same diagnosis and we'd now have two children living with this condition.

You don't have to be a parent of a child with a health condition to relate to the emotion behind this song. All you have to do is know what it's like to love someone so much that you hope they'll be okay.

Type 1 diabetes is unlike type 2: Type 1 has no known cause or cure. For more info about T1D, please visit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund.
