Sometimes the path we are on is not the one we had intended. Thus began my life with Audra.

How could one little person bring so much joy and pain? How could one little person teach me so many lessons that most people never learn in a lifetime? And how could I be given a greater gift then to see people with disabilities for their inner selves and not as what the world see's them.

This is my journey, no one else's, this is what I have felt and laughed and cried over.
I wish you well on your own journey, wherever that may lead.
The path we are on is not always the one that we have chosen

My path was choosen for me many years ago. I suppose that I could have refused to take that route. I could have chosen another road, less rocky and rut free. Had I done like some people suggested and put my 9 month old baby away "someplace where people like her should go" after all the doctor said "she would never be NORMAL"

But I loved this little person called Audra, to me she was perfect in every way. If we were going anywhere it would be together.

Our path was set before us and I had no idea where we were going, or where we would end up, or how I would do it!

I could have never have done it without her..........
