My name is Trish and I am not a great writer hell I'm not even a good one. It seems that the only thing I am good at is being a mom, I have 4 kids and 4 angles. 3 of my angles were due to miscarriage and 16 years ago I lost my son CJ to SIDS when he was 3 months old.


Kayla is my oldest she is 18 and a senior in high school she wants to join the Air Force when she graduates and she is the single best 18 year old I have ever met she gave up her summer last year to stay home and help me through the end of my pregnancy because I was put on bed rest and needed someone to be here to help with Shelby. Then this summer she chose to stay home again to help her mom I had to have an umbilical hernia repaired and couldn't lift anything so she stepped up again and I love her so much for it.


Justin is next he is 14 and a freshman and he is great in his own way he loves to do yard work and he loves cars he wants to be a mechanic when he grows up and I am all for it. He doesn't like to be in the house much but when he is inside he helps with his younger siblings.


Then there is Shelby she is 5 and starts kindergarten on the 25th and she has cerebral palsy because of a lack of oxygen at birth and the doctors told me that she probably would never walk or talk or progress past the very basic infant stage. Well we brought her home and loved her and got her in physical, occupational and speech therapy and now she can roll over, she can say some simple words, and she even kicked a ball in a walker for the first time and yes I cried when she did. I can't even begin to describe how it makes me feel to see her struggle so hard to do things that most people find so simple and most of the time she works with a smile on her face.


Last but not least is Ryan he is 9 months old and into everything he is crawling and puts everything in his mouth we go later today for his checkup. He did concern me quite a bit when the doc heard a heart murmur and sent us to have an echo but thank god everything looked fine and I am so happy I don't know if I could handle another one with special needs.
Anyway this is the beginning of my story.
