About me

Introduction My name is Candace and I have been married to my husband Luke for 9 years. We have a 6 year old son named Logan and a 4 year old named Cameron. Baby Cameron was born 13 weeks early due to a placenta abruption. He was in the hospital the first year of his life. He has multiple health problems along with Down Syndrome but he continues to fight each and every day. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful husband and sons that make me smile every day. "Sometimes, however, despite our best efforts , things don't turn out the way you hoped. The great risk of parenthood is that you may receive an assignment you would never sign up for. We all enter parenting with great expectations and hope for the future. We anticipate our kids will be healthy, strong and productive. But what if that's not the way things work out? What if one of these experiences forever changes the landscape of your family and challenges you to the core of your heart?"
