Hello and welcome to the podcast. This week I have guest Kelly Speck speaking about her life with her 3 children, one of whom is a teenager with quadriplegic cerebral palsy. Kelly has the ability to describe the beginning of her journey to parenthood and coincidentally special needs parenthood with light, however she also explains that her whole family is aware of the fragility of life. No one knows how long they have, but she especially feels the weight of that with her son and his extraordinary conditions.
Kelly opens up about her journey with her faith and some funny conversations and stances she's taken on her relationship with God.
Kelly shares how she has come to learn what the word respite actually means and that it has been a game-changer for not only her marriage but their whole family. She doesn’t want her other children to feel left out or grow up to resent their brother.
And of course, Kelly shares about the book she has written about her story and her family. Hope In the Heartache is a book she hopes can bring light, understanding and most of all hope to others, whether they have special needs children in their life or not.
