Is it possible to laugh and cry at the same time?

After reading this post on Six Until Me's blog i was both laughing and crying a little. http://sixuntilme.com/blog2/2012/04/so_much_bigger.html#comments

Reading it a second time brings tears to my eyes still, but this time only a smile. I couldn't imagine being diabetic at that age. I was 17 almost 18 when diagnosed. I learned quickly what was happening with me and what i should do.(it help when they leave that text book, the pink panther book, alone with two avid readers. The only big problem we had was who got to read the book first.
     At that age I had never heard of diabetes, never meet anyone with it, never knew such a thing could exist. Now i know how many how to deal with it at that age or earlier. My biggest inspiration is Elise, the heroine of Death of a Pancreas. After i was diagnosed i spent hours reading her mothers blog trying for a glimpse into what i may have to deal with. Elise was celebrating her first birthday when her mom was told she needed to go to the hospital.
   May their days be filled with blessings...
