I have had 3 children with special needs, one with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. My daughter has passed away. My youngest is soon to be 30 years old. She has always been in a wheelchair and dependent on me for all her needs like going to the bathroom, dressing, bathing etc. She is now married and has 3 beautiful and perfect children. My eldest daughter is Bipolar-Manic Depressive; so that has been a challenge. I cared for my husband who passed from stage 4 lung cancer. I cared for my eldest brother who was a severe diabetic. I was an in-home health aide for a number of years also.
