...a severe illness survive? I know someone who has type 1 diabetes. We were friends for a long time, and it seemed he had given up on finding someone to love him due to his health complications. I felt very sorry for him, and began to care about him. Now I love him very much. It is a scary thing though. Some of my friends know how our relationship began and they say I am stupid for being involved with him. I am scared of caring too much for him because I might lose him to the disease, and because I worry about him a lot, but I still love him. Will the concern I feel become too much for me to handle? Is there anyone out there who has been in a similar situation that can give good advice?
