A little more about me
I’m the kind of person who likes to stay in my comfort zone, so this is a big share for me.
In 1999 (age 12) my mother abandoned me.
Through 2001 I was neglected, abused, starved, etc.
In 2005 my daughter was born (one of the happiest days of my life) and 6 months later I had a stroke due to a malformation on my brain stem.
2007 divorced my cheating husband.
2008 married the man of my dreams.
2009 my first son was born.
2010 adopted my youngest son (he’s also a shaken baby survivor. The abuser was his biological mother, my younger sister.)
2012 our home was destroyed in a tornado.
2013 my youngest son was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and admitted for brain surgery.
2016 my daughters biological dad was thrown in prison (Also the year that my husband adopted her. It was a tough year, with a blessing thrown in.)
2019 my husband broke his neck in a car accident (he survived and is on the mend). I also released my first novel this year.
What a crazy exhausting life I’ve lived, and it’s not even close to over. No matter how crazy things get, I’d never do anything different. Being where I am with my husband and my children is worth everything to me.
