Unknown's avatarIn 2010 I had a stroke that changed my life. Two-plus years later, I am just accepting some of the changes that resulted.

My wife and kids have been active participants in that journey. They are blessings for whom I can't give enough thanks. Through my writing, maybe I can do a better job of sharing what is going on inside my brain, in ways I can't share verbally.
