Frank about Lorraine – To sum this up in one word, Lorraine is my world. She is one of the “mushiest” people I have ever met. She loves to give and get hugs and she is incredibly supportive to everyone she loves. Lorraine’s brother has three children that we are extremely close with. Lorraine’s 5 year old niece was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes almost 2 years ago. This is the time in our lives when I saw Lorraine’s potential to be a wonderful parent. Lorraine was always petrified of needles (as I suppose a lot of people are). Her niece was going to have to get two Insulin injections a day in addition to have her blood checked regularly. Despite Lorraine’s fear of needles, she immediately asked to be trained on how to administer the injections. She spent many hours practicing on bananas and potatoes. When that first shot was administered by Lorraine, I watched her incredibly brave face she put on for her niece despite the fear I knew she was feeling inside. After the shot comes lots of hugs and kisses to her niece and she tells her how proud she is of her. We have a ton of outings and sleepovers with our nieces which include things like going to fairs, taking them to the movies, just having them come and “hang out” with Aunt Lorraine to color or make crafts and every time I see her with them, I realize what an unbelievable mom she will make some day soon. Lorraine works as a book keeper for a large Brokerage Firm. Lorraine’s job allows her to work from home with very flexible hours so she will be able to be there to raise our child.
So to be corny and quote a famous movie “Lorraine completes me”. She is my best friend, my soul mate and I don’t know what I would do without her in my life.
