Cleon's Story
Life
I have been married to my wife, Debbie, for over twenty years. We have a soon to be 20 year old son, Chris, a just turned 16 son, John, who is Autistic and lives in a group home in Indianapolis, and an 11 year-old daughter. Megan.
I am a Case Manager for the disabled. I work with providing services in the community for people who would otherwise meet criterion for an institutional setting. In Novemeber my job was eliminated so I began to work out of my home with the same caseload.
I also preach and sing with my family. My daughter has a great voice and plays piano, clarinet and picked up on the penny whistle after seeing "The Lord of the Rings." My oldest just fininshed his sophomore year at Franklin College.
My son's disability has head a tremendous impact on our family. We only get to see ...Expand for more
him once or twice a month due to distance. We love him, but we could not provide the 24-hour attention he needs. We finally became so exhausted we sought a group home placement for him after his 40 day commitment to a psychiatric hospital. It was a terribly difficult decision, akin to someone dying, but it was best for him and our family.
Shortly after moving into the group home we almost lost him when emergency surgery was needed for a burst appendix. He was in the hospital for 40 days 75 miles away from home.
I feel priviledged that I can empathize with the people I work with and have a ministry through music to reach out to everyone about these special, and often mis-understood, people.
Sometimes it is not apparent in our family, but we believe that often times are hard, but God is always good.
