Party sparks belief in, and prayer for, a cure

Three of the granddaughters received invitations to a huge party thrown by Sanford Health a few weeks ago. The girls wangled their invitations to the gala by virtue of having type 1 diabetes. If you stop to think about it, that’s a pretty stiff ticket price just to dress up, have some great food and hang around with other people who know families impacted by serious childhood illnesses. The girls didn’t spend much time reflecting on the cost of admission. They put on brightly colored gowns and dazzling smiles and spent the evening winning the hearts of a lot of people who had been strangers just a few hours earlier.
