I have some really sweet, thoughtful friends. My friend Angela found the Pediatric Stroke Awareness colors and asked our friend Nicki to make me a bracelet as a representation. Ever since they gave it to me I haven’t wanted to take it off, it means so much. It’s so crazy to me that Ryder turned 5 this year, so for 5 years pretty much this stroke stuff has consumed my life. It has been a roller coaster of emotions, uphill battles, victories, worry for the future, therapies, doctors, insurance, answered prayers, diagnoses, all the things that come along with having a child with special needs. The two of them have been there through all of it. Every appointment. Every fear. Every tear. Encouraging me when I need it and rejoicing with us when we overcome. Big or small, good or bad, happy or sad, it has never mattered, they are there to listen and want to know all the details! To me this bracelet represents true friendship, God’s never ending love and faithfulness, and the strength of a little boy who has completely turned my life upside down and changed me, for the better.
Angela & Nicki – I love you both so much, thank you for this gift, it’s the sweetest!!!
