learn more about me

I look forward to meeting you, and having you share this journey with me. How ever difficult it may be, I believe we can learn, grow and heal together.

I'd love to hear from you

I was a care-giver mom for 16 years to my severely disabled son, Jaden. He had cerebral Palsy (CP), spastic quadriplegia which meant he had severe brain damage that affected all his motor and brain functions. 

He was wheel-chair bound and I fed him through a feeding tube. The journey was hard but I would gladly do it all over again. Jaden was an incredible little one, who suffered daily but always wore the biggest and brightest smile. 

Since Jaden gained his wings I feel like mine are truly broken, I feel broken and every day is an emotional battlefield. My journey now is so different to what it was then when he was alive, when he was my purpose. 

Now, I feel my purpose is to share my journey, my knowledge and find my faith in order to heal these broken wings.
