Actor Romeo Miller, has welcomed two daughters over the course of the last few years and had recently opened up on social media about his daughter, River Rose battling with Type 1.
“River Rose Miller aka my little rocket! Before I go to bed tonight, on this special day I give thanks to you and for you. Behind that comely smile, there’s a fighter! I’ve never met a stronger human and I thank God everyday for assigning me to be your papa! We’ve kept things private, but my daughter is one of the younger cases to be diagnosed with T1D. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic (life-long) autoimmune disease that prevents your pancreas from making insulin. It requires daily management with insulin injections, shots, and blood sugar monitoring just to survive,” he explained.
Continuing he writes, “At her age, there are many challenges and random sleep overs at the hospital, but our faith has never wavered and little sister Winter and Mama Drew are always by her side. The silver lining? Our bond is even stronger, because it’s a must I be there for my daughter medically.”
He concluded with: “We’ve been blessed to work with one of the best in the world in Doctor Francine Kaufman, and I wanna give that knowledge and access back to all whom are going through a similar journey. @omnipod and @dexcom has been a life saver, but my mission is to help the T1D community find a cure. We have some exciting news coming soon! The @mylittlerocketco is an all purpose company and charity inspired by my daughter and owned by my daughter. Romans 8:28 🌍🙏🏾 I’ll end it on the famous quote, “you never know what someone is going through, so be kind”. Blessing.”
Romeo welcomed his daughter River Rose last year in February and his second daughter Winter March of this year.
