From Diagnosis to Devotion — A Mother’s Unseen Journey 💙
This Mother’s Day, we’re not just celebrating flowers and breakfast in bed.
We’re honouring the mothers who became caregivers overnight.
The mothers who cry silently in bathrooms and then walk out smiling.
The mothers who Googled what Type 1 diabetes even is — and now handle it with such grace & strength.
We’re honouring warriors like Ritika, today.
Her daughter was only 17 months old when life changed forever.
A diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes is not just a medical condition — it’s a life sentence of vigilance. And it didn’t come with a manual.
But Ritika, like countless other T1D moms, didn’t flinch.
She rolled up her sleeves and stepped into a storm she never saw coming.
She learned to prick tiny fingers and inject tiny arms with steady hands and a steady heart — even when her own heart shattered.💔
She put her own dreams on pause — not out of obligation, but from unconditional love. She became her daughter’s strongest advocate, nurse, comforter, and guide — all in one.
Every day now is a new lesson — in patience, resilience, nutrition, blood sugars, hope, and heartbreak.
And yet, she shows up. Fully. Fiercely. Unconditionally.
Because that’s what mothers do.
They fight the unseen battles.
They catch the meltdowns and mop up the fears.
They protect, they provide, and they pray in silence.
They live their child’s pain so their child doesn’t have to live it alone.
Ritika isn’t just a mom.
She’s a living example of what it means to rebuild your life — with love as your foundation and courage as your compass.
To every mother of a child with Type 1 — we see you.
We honour your strength. ✌🏻
And today, we say with all our hearts — you are the reason your child smiles through the storm.
Happy Mother’s Day to the real heroes. The silent warriors raising warriors. The Super Moms. 💙
