Today is my birthday. Not my favorite day of the year. Unlike most of my family (especially the boys), I’m not fond of hoopla, surprises or an audience. OK – I do love an audience…I am a writer, musician and public speaker, however NOT on my birthday.
My ideal birthday is a day of quiet reflection. So today, I’m going to share with you my first short story – just written two months ago. It’s a peek into my soul – a mother’s reflection on the year long journey with my son Eli’s Type 1 Diabetes. If you are a parent or have a child that you love deeply, please read my story.
Still deciding whether or not to attempt to jump into the enduring process of begging to get my short story published, I shared A Mother’s Journey with a friend a few weeks ago and asked for her feedback. Her words to me were so moving, “Reading your story felt as if you had given me a key to enter your soul. I was inside your head – not sure whether or not I was allowed to be there. I want more.”
I hope my story moves you as well.

Amazing! This story isn't just a story, but a true life story. Kristy, you're so brave to share such challenges. Thank you! A Mothers Journey made me cry and made me appreciate what God does for us. He's so good.
