Sugared Three: The Collected Poems

A poetry collection about juvenile diabetes? Yes. It is about a family of sufferers, a mom, dad, and son dealing with the onslaught of a disease that takes no prisoners. It is an honest look at diabetes taken from the person vantage point of a family so afflicted. Read the inner thoughts of a husband stricken with diabetes at twenty-three and a son stricken at three and a half. The collection itself consists of sixty poems broken into three chapters:

• Chapter 1 of the collection deals with the disease from the husband's perspective.
• Chapter 2 deals with the wife/mother’s feelings of having to deal with both a husband and young son with the disease.
• Chapter 3 is written from my son's perspective and his feelings and thoughts about the disease.
