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 tumor 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 faith perspective by a mom who has 'been there'.
