Recently I followed a little God nudge and started to volunteer with Hosparus. This isn't something I decided on a whim, but I will say I was surprised at the direction God took me. My experience with this organization left an imprint on me. In June, I committed to...

While other adults in their 50s are close to or are currently living the life of an empty nester, I am still driving a twenty-nine year old with Down syndrome back and forth to various activities, appointments, well, everything. Please don't think I am complaining....
