My Story...

I've been married to my husband, Dan, for over 35 years. We met in our early twenties at a Christian Missionary Conference. He is a carpenter and I am a Registered Nurse. We started our family with a beautiful baby girl, and in less than two years, we added twin boys. 

Within the next few years, we were blindsided by the diagnosis of a cancerous brain tumour in one of our sons, shortly after both boys were diagnosed with autism. 

Our son survived his brain cancer (twice!) but went on to have numerous other significant medical issues over the years. He remained non-verbal as well and required constant care until his death.

I am a writer who understands the struggles, fears, and grief of raising special needs kids and grieving the loss of a child. 

My stories of everyday life share a message of hope through a Christian perspective, from a mom who has 'been there'.

“I just find it fascinating the doors that God has opened (and) through my experiences being able to share some of the hope and faith with other people … ,” she said. “He uses our pain for a purpose — I know that sounds cliché — but there is a Scripture about making beauty from ashes."
