Abby

Abby, 12 - Alabama USA
Hi, my name is Abby and I am 12. I have had T1D for 10 years. I was diagnosed Sept. 11 2002. I was 19 months old.
I would love a girl pen-pal. I am home-schooled. I love photography, and I have a Canon Rebel EOS XS. I love flowers, and my dream is to become a photographer and have my own flower shop. I am not very girly, though I love doing my hair and make-up but I ain't afraid of getting a little mud on my jeans! ;)
I am the only one in my family that has T1. It's rough sometimes, but I know God gave me this for a reason and He doesn't make ANY mistakes! I am a christian. I find the beauty of God in everything from flowers growing in the city sidewalks to the sunshine peeking through the clouds right after a spring shower. The beauty of God is in everything; it's not the way it looks to everyone else, it's the way you choose to see it.
I hope we can be pen-pals!
Peace & Love,
Abby
