Family & Friends

Our Family Keeps Growing!!!

These past few years have seen our family grow so much....

The love and support of our family is the *Faith that leads us through the darkness*

The path has been long and difficult, and I could not have traveled it alone. During every twist and turn you were there with help and encouragement. Living with Lupus has proved to be very challenging to say the least. I have learned to set priorities in my life and to stick to them. Every once in awhile I become defiant, but my family knows only too well that defiance is my survival kit. I know that when I have taken on too much it is your support and my defiance that keep me going. That when I have to cancel a commitment that you will understand. I have had to learn to live with many disappointments, mainly missing activities with my children and grandchildren that I so love, but I know that this is just another twist in the road. I will enjoy the scenery as I take this little detour. I am truly grateful for the support you have given me. Amazing isn't it, how some people see the basket half empty and others see it half full. Some see life hopeless others hopeful. Even when things are less than perfect, if you can think of the good, the beautiful, the hopeful, you'll be more than sustained...you'll conquer. I have been given the strength to conquer by my precious family and wonderful friends......For all the support, and for all the happy memories.....
I will be forever grateful....especially for always finding me
"One More Mountain to Climb"!!
