Giving Grace…
Five years ago, we were blessed by adoption. It makes my heart happy to help others. I selfishly thought we were doing the “right thing.” Little did I know how God was blessing our family! It has not been easy. I was only beginning to learn how “invisible disabilities” are so difficult for many to…
Roots grow wings #firstborn #toofast
One year ago today, Connor brought home his graduation attire. I posted this photo of his cap and gown with the title above. I couldn’t believe he was already finishing high school. Little did I know then, what I know now and how truly fast life can fly. I have forever felt, that all people,…

Tell me about your son…
I am certain I would want no one else to have to endure what we have these past fifty-nine days since Connor’s accident. I realize all people here on earth have trials, tribulation and illnesses. I’ve lost close friends to cancer and accidents in these past few years and seen the suffering. Each day these…
