Phil and I returned back to VidCon just in time for photos and autographs, I was still feeling a little light headed but I was not missing out on this, way to many fans have shown up for me to just blow this off,
"Dan? Are you alright?" Phil asked for the hundredth time since we left the hospital, I wasn't annoyed at this, he was worried and it really touched me,
"Phil, I love you and I love how much you worry for me, but really I'm fine, the doctor gave me new Insulin." I said holding up my new black pouch, "I have snacks if anything goes wrong and a medical team right outside those doors." I said and gave him a quick kiss,
"Yeah, you're right, my head should be here right now." Phil said with a big smile, "I'm enjoying myself, honest." Phil said and watched as a little girl and her mother walk up to us,
"Well hello there little one." I said with a smile and watched as she hid behind her mother's legs,
"I'm sorry she's a little shy, but we both saw what you did on stage and we're both very touched, you came out there and tried your best even though you were struggling, you didn't want to let anyone down and because of that we have something for you," the girl slowly came out from behind her mother and lifted her shirt, showing an OmniPod, she had Diabetes too,
"I was scared to tell anyone, I thought they'd all judge me for being different, that was until I saw your first video about your struggles and I knew if you could do it than I could do it too." She quietly pulled a flower from behind her back and handed it to me, it had a little handmade card attached to it, three simple words were written on it, 'You're my Hero', in a big red heart,
"Thank you so much, I love it." I said tears streaming down my face, the biggest smile on my face, I held out my arms for a hug and she came running, squeezing me as hard as she could, she kissed me on the cheek and pulled away,
"Everything will alright, right?" She asked with the brightest and biggest smile,
"Right and I have a confession to make, I'm always scared everyday of what might happen but it's people like you that help me go on with my life, you're my hero." I said and gave her one last hug,
"Oh, thank you!" She said and turned back to her mom, who also had tears running down her face, "Mommy, did you hear what he said?!" She said and with a cute little laugh ran off with her mom,
"Oh my god Phil...that was amazing." I said still holding the flower, "I've never been someones hero before...it feels great that I'm changing lives like that." Phil had a huge smile on his face and hugged me tightly,
"I'm so proud of you, love, you did it, you made someone's day and probably the rest of her life too!" Phil said and gave me a huge kiss before returning to the autographs and photos,
"This day just got a whole lot better, Phil." I said and squeezed his hand, "I know now I can make it through everything because of you and people like her, so thank you." Phil just smiled and turned his attention back to someone who had come up for a photo,
Thank you, Phil.
