Hi Amanda! I found one of your blog entries through a mutual friend on facebook and I just wanted to tell you I love all of your amazing and wonderful pictures and your blog entries. Your son is absolutely ADORABLE!!! I think I read in one of your posts that you did not know many adults with spina bifida. So-I have been wanting to reach out to you to let you know I was also born with spina bifida (myelomeningocele) and I would love to connect more with you if you would like. I am 36. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have for me. I also wrote a book called “Beyond Adversity into Freedom” which is my story of how I have found genuine freedom and joy in living with spina bifida. If you ever wanted to review my book on your blog-I would be more than happy to send you one. Thank you again for the beautiful blog and pictures. Many Blessings, Shauna

Thanks, Amanda, for the sweet words, and the wonderful photos!
So jealous! I would love to have been there, too bad I live in Texas. Beautiful photos by the way.
AMAZING post. Mami cried reading it.
You can ALWAYS count on me for support, and I hope to be there for you and your family as Chance grows up to be an intelligent, HANDSOME, independent, compassionate boy. I love him so much. And you. <3
There’s nothing better than getting together with others who “get it”.
“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.” ~ Unknown A year ago today I learned we were expecting our little guy Chance. After all I had been through the year prior and the many years prior to the kids being born, I admit it certainly felt like a […]
