Dear Bret,

I just wanted to share with you a photo of my beautiful baby girl who just 2 weeks ago was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Her dad is also Type 1 for 23 years. I have been a Bret Michaels fan as long as I can remember and my little girl is also a huge fan 🙂

When she was first diagnosed, I was shattered. How do I explain to my little girl that she has to have needles everyday for the rest of her life? What kind of life is she going to have? Then I thought of Bret. Look at all he has achieved! Look at how wonderful and full his life is. Diabetes is not controlling him. He is controlling his diabetes! Bret has always been an inspiration to me and now he inspires us in a whole new way. Get got me through my darkest hour!

Thank you Bret, with much love from Australia!
