D-Parody: For the First Time in Forever


"For the First Time in Forever"
(a D-Parody of "For the First Time in Forever" from Disney's Frozen)

I was 18 years into D life,
A wannabe Mom and brand new wife.
Who knew there was this huge community?

First I stumbled to DMine,
Then TuDiabetes came to find.
It was like they're talking right to me.

There were actual real live people.
It felt totally strange.
But wow, was I so ready for that change!

'Cause for the first time in forever,
I felt truly understood.
For the first time in forever,
This disease brought something good.

Don't know if I was inspired or hypo,
But I was somewhere in that zone,
‘Cause for the first time in forever,
I didn't feel alone.

From the very first time that I logged in,
Created a profile, commented,
I could tell this was a special place.

Though nervous to meet them at events,
Some of them famous advocates,
I'm sure I stuffed some glucose in my face.

But then we laughed and talked all evening,
Which was totally bizarre.
Nothing like the life I'd led so far.

For the first time in forever,
I am living out my dream.
I took steps to be a mother
By bringing down my A1c.

And I know it sounds totally crazy
to believe they’re all my friends,
But for the first time in forever,
Someone understands.

For the first time in forever,
I’ve a chance to change the world.
And like I’d dreamed of for forever,
I have a darling boy and girl.

And we will do great things together;
We’re no longer on our own,
'Cause for the first time in forever,
For the first time in forever,
We are not alone.

  1. I can't stop listening to this with tears streaming down my face. Your voice is so beautiful, and this touches on how I feel about the DOC. I found your page through Kerri's sixuntilme page. Please, keep doing Weird Al for the diabetes community!
