Well…I’m Here For You, You’re Here For Me. Let’s Sing. [Watch]

August 8, 2008 by cpaig

Tonight’s LTD was all about Nick’s diabetes. Those of you who have been to a show on the Burnin’ Up Tour will recognize most of it as the video that precedes Nick’s performance of “A Little Bit Longer”.

The episode, titled “Nothing’s Gonna Slow Me Down,” focuses on Nick, but features his whole family. We hear how Nick is the “Commander in Chief” of the band, but he counts on his brothers and family when things get bad, like when he received his diagnosis. We hear how he manages his carb intake and blood sugar. We get to see his Omnipod and hear how keeping his blood in check is not as easy as he makes it seem. He also talks about writing “A Little Bit Longer“. Nick narrates.

This episode made me cry. For real. The parts that got me the most were when Nick was talking about how “No one can ever really relate to how you feel,’” and when, while talking about how he dedicates “A Little Bit Longer” to anyone with a broken heart, or who is having a hard time, he feels a connection with the audience that says “I’m here for you, you’re here for me. Let’s sing.” Having experienced that first hand myself I can say it is a very powerful moment (cue the sobbing tweens – and not so tweens).

I won’t reiterate what I said in an earlier post about Nick, but long story short, I think he is amazing.

Check it out after the jump (grab some tissues on your way).

    I lost it when those two LITTLE kids showed their insulin pumps and Nick was giving them guitar picks and high fives. The lasting effects he’s having on children with diabetes are imponderable. He will totally change the way these kids think and feel about their condition and their limitations. Positive light indeed!

    Me too, Coolmom. I think Nick said to the little girl, “…you’re going to be okay…” when he gave her the guitar pick. I just bawled. God bless, Nick. If God had to give diabetes to someone, he picked a winner there.

    Why do you think Nick’s diabetes did not make itself known until he was 14? It seems a lot of Type 1 kids find out much earlier. My husband thinks maybe his diet was really healthy – does anyone know?

    Falmom, my husband was diagnosed when he was about 13 – and like Nick there was no family history.

    We also have a friend who was diagnosed with Type 1 on the eve of his 30th Birthday.

    There are lots of theories (some even connected to a severe chicken pox outbreak when young – this is my theory for my hubby, because he has so many scars from his bout.)

    But I really don’t know.
