Cadence
I have been married for 26 years to Jim and am the mother of 4 children: Brian 23 years, Melissa 21 years, Rachel 17 years, Michael 14 years and the mother-in-law of Jena, who is married to Brian. Fourteen years ago my son, Michael, was born with special needs and turned our lives upside down. We worked hard to find our new rhythm (cadence) as a family and went through a time of questioning our faith and God. I have found God to be faithful and good as we have embraced this new cadence and rhythm of our lives.
This blog includes reflections and lessons about my own life, especially pertaining to life with my son with special needs, that hopefully will encourage other parents or people to live with hope even when life doesn't look like you thought it would.

I was kidding, of course....or at least I thought so...
