Retta's Story
well using a story idea that was provided here....the one i chose was "life doesn't always turn out the way you expect. what's been your biggest surprise?"
well i have had a few of them. my first surprise was that God blessed me with a special angel. i never thought i would be one of those moms who would have a special needs child. jessica is truly a blessing and looking back since she was diagnosed, i am amazed just at the path i had to take with her. i never considered myself to be a strong person. i've always thought i was a very weak person...one who couldn't stand up for anything. like i said, in looking back over her life, i realize that it took a strong person to make sure she was taken care of and didn't fall thru the cr...Expand for more
