My Story…

My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at thirty-eight and our world collapsed overnight. I was a teacher with a small income, three kids to move, pets to carry, and a house full of our life packed into my mom’s home. I was trying to finish my PhD while trying not to fall apart. I had to become stronger than I ever planned to be. He taught me how to change a tire, change my oil, and fix things I never imagined I would touch. I stepped into a role I never wanted but refused to run from. It has been painful and heavy, but we are doing better now. I built a life for our family out of sheer love and determination, and even though it was not the path I expected, I am proud of the strength it revealed in me.
