My husband and I reside with our three children who have severe disabilities. Our lives are busy and at times stressful, but very meaningful. We always know, at the end of any hectic or challenging day, that we are doing the right thing with our lives. As we look at the smiling faces of our special children, we know we are truly blessed.”
