Life begins at 40, and I'm living proof.
I was lucky enough to have a father who said, 'Don't quit.' So I just kept going.
I say to everybody, 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'
Just having someone make you laugh so hard that it hurts is so healing to me.
Losing my mother at such an early age is the scar of my soul. But I feel like it ultimately made me into the person I am today; I understand the journey of life. I had to go through what I did to be here.
But trust can take you a long way. And my faith takes me a long way. And I think that our pains, our vulnerabilities, and our insecurities can fuel us to be better. To try harder. To dig deeper.
