Sharing Our Stories
It's funny how life works. You plan, try to do the "right" things the "right" way, and imagine your future...then life actually happens.I never dreamed I would live in the desert of New Mexico as the wife of a pastor with two sons with severe hemophilia.Not...
My Firstborn
My life truly began 17 years ago...when my firstborn came into the world. I remember everything about that day as if it had happened moments ago. Seeing my son raised up by the doctor, my new son breathing in air for the first time... his cries were music to my ears....
I Should Have Known
"Christian's" knee has been swollen since January. Bleed after bleed early this year and it just never seems to get back to a "normal" size. He has needed to depend on his wheelchair more than I have liked, but when his classroom is at one end of the...

Ronnie Was Here
Fifty one years ago today a little soul left this world. His life was short and he struggled, but he lost his fight. He had hemophilia and back in 1962 in a rural, Texas town, hemophilia was not a disorder that brought a great deal of attention, so I don't...
