My Support



My family has supported me through a lot. If it was not for the support from them, I may not have made it this far is school. They have been there through thick and thin.

In addition, my parents, siblings, in-laws and friends supported me a year ago next month, when the doctors thought I may had breast cancer. Went through surgery and later found out I was ok. Through it all, each six months, my husband especially, will take the day/morning off to go with me to my mammograms. It makes a person stronger and blessed to have so much support.

I could not understand why, my son started having some developmental and learning problems when he was 7. After many conformation, he has ADHD and OCD. Along with my family and friends, I was able to turn to a support group with other parents whose child is  diagnosed as well. We have been able to offer ideas and suggestions to each other; What to do next, how to get help at school, planning and organization at home and more.

As a little girl, I would not speak because I had a terrible stuttering problem. Kids would tease me. There was one teacher who made me feel special and not only helped me, but family when I was in Head Start.

I am not sure where I would be if I did not have these special people in my life.

  1. Rhonda. you have a beautiful family. It is great to have a supportive husband. I can relate to you being diagnoised with breast cancer. 15 years ago I was diagnoised with breast cancer. I have had 7 surgeries,no chemo I did it all natural Gods way. The Lord has been good to me and I too am alright. Every Sunday I try not to forget to say "It is good to be here.
