Finding My Way

Being a parent taught me how to love unconditionally. Being the parent of three special needs children taught me perseverance.

Ultimately, I've learned that it is possible to love someone more than yourself.

Prior to becoming disabled, I was a Parent Advocate for children who were mentally disabled. My own children provided me with the experience I needed to help other parents.

It was the most rewarding job I ever had. It also provided me with experiences and opportunities I wouldn't have otherwise had.

The challenges we face in life molds the people we become/are. I've seen my fair share of challenges (haven't we all??). My life is different now, not any better or worse, just different.

There will always be times when I will grieve for the things I've lost; because of this disease, because of circumstances in general. Then there are the other times.

Times when I know there is a reason; that all of this serves some unknown purpose.
