Even though I love it in Lesotho I still miss the rest of my family and friends so much. Some of my closest friends wrote me letters that you are all about to read right now Dear Gemma, Thank you 🙏 for being an amazing 😉 person. I know you’ve gone through your struggles as a kid👩🏻for you first 5 years in hospital 🏥. Not everyone goes through half the pain you go through. So I just want to say, I’m so proud of you for standing strong 💪🏾 through all these years . You never cease to amaze me. You have a kind, loving heart ❤️ for others and you never give up . Keep it up . You’re going to be something amazing 😉, I just know it. When life gives you lemons , you Gemma Deutschmann make lemonade 🥂 Never stop being who you are. Love , your friend Tshego💕 Dear Gemma I remember about two years ago in class when someone had a birthday and you were unable to eat the treat because you had diabetes on that day I made myself a promise that if I have a birthday in class that I would make a treat that you could eat I will never forget your face the day I made you a diabetic cupcake to be honest I never really knew anything about diabetes until we became close friends and I started reading up about it and you shared many stories with me. You are a very special friend to me how important it is to live life to the fullest and not let anything stand in your way. You helped me through a really tough time in my life because you understood what I was going through and really went out of your way to make me feel special and for that I will always be grateful. Love Mycaela Myburg. Dear Gemma I have had many breakdowns and many happy moments with your diabetes. I remember the first time I found out you were diabetic I was so causious and scared but then over tune I realized that it's ok to be scared but you should always think positively. You have had your ups and downs with your diabetes but I've learnt how to deal with them. I was soo scared learning about how to use you insulin needle and how your pump works because I thought what if I do something wrong and u make things even worse. I'm still a bit hesitant now when I help with your pump but I know now that is fine to ask for help and it'd fine to forget sometimes. There's one thing I want you to know, Gemma no matter what happens to you,let's say your friends are being mean to you and you need someone to talk to, I will always and I mean I will ALWAYS be here or there when you need me. Love Ayde Dear Gem you have gone threw so much i am so proud of you. I am so happy that I could be a part of your life. You always attempt everything to the best of your ability and never complain when you face any obstacles. Love you -jaydene- ❤ Dear Gemma, my best friend, My Ride or Die you don't understand how much you mean to me and how much our friendship means to me. In 7 years of being in Eunice I have never met a person as amazing as you. You are probably one of the most amazing people I have ever met, you never let you diabetes stop you. You are a role model to me because you have done soo much amazing things in your life and you are soo strong. When ever I have a problem or I'm sad you are always there to help me and cheer me up. Every time I hear you are in hospital my hart stops for you, I'm always scared but you show me that there is nothing to scared about because you are always soo strong. Just remember I will always love you and that your struggle dose not define you and it helped you to become the amazing person you are today. Dear best friend. Thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for always being there for me. You are a wonderful person and my best friend. Love you my bestie❤️❤️ At first I didn't really know what diabetes was until I learnt about it from you I learnt a lot about diabetes and how to handle it and your sugar went sky high at night and that you had to wear a little machine and it always gave me a fright when you went to the hospital because I didn't want to lose my best friend Love from Elishia. |
