About Me

My photo
I am a mother of a beautiful daughter with Hemifacial Microsomia. Graci has changed my life forever. I am so thankful for every day God gives me with her. I believe God created her the way he wanted her to be; and placed her in my life for a reason. I pray that he gives me strength and guidance I need to raise her to be a beautiful lady. Graci was born with mulitple birth defects. She has already undergone several surgeries and now we have reached the point in her life where she will have ear reconstuction on her microtia. This blog is for family, friends and others to read as we go through this amazing journey in California as Graci gets her new ear.

All About Faith!

I remember the comment I made to my little sister a couple of months ago about being able to move from Wilson and relocate my family. We were talking about moving closer and so the kids could grow up together. It would truly saddened me and my heart would be so heavy if I have to leave Wilson, North Carolina. I am so proud to be apart of such a wonderful place to live. When starting this journey with Graci, I really thought we were alone with facing the battles with the insurance and not knowing how we would afford to fly my family to California three times a year. Well, we don't accomplish anything in this world alone....and this stands true for what this community is doing for us. People have spread like stars and their light continues to shine. I never thought such a community and group of thoughtful commited citizens could change the world for me, but indeed they have. My faith has been the motivation through this journey (besides having Graci by my side) and years ago I made my mind up that I wasn't one bit better than the meanest on this earth. I say that now even more, because I know there are families that struggle, criminals that walk the streets and homeless people begging, but faith has kept Graci's dream alive!!! Faith makes all things possible! I want Graci to always remember that you block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.
