Memories and Reflections

[responsivevoice_button voice=”US English Female” buttontext=”Listen to Post”]

Yup! That was some winter! An ice storm resulting in 1 – 2 feet of solid ice that lasted 11 weeks; while having to continue to share living space with a highly abusive ex-husband; while working out financial and physical supports to live in my own place. Yup! That was some winter!!!!!!!!!

My then one (and only) attendant and my Minister, along with TeamWoirk’s Hannah Hefler-Jamieson and Elizabeth Fitzner were truly my mental “life lines.” I honestly think I would have lost my mind, spirit, and will if it weren’t for their support. I will always appreciate these amazing people. I am now as strong as I am in a significant part because of their support.

A screenshot of a Facebook memory with Gerianne sitting in her powerchair in front of Calvin Presbyterian Church. There are piles of snow around the entrance. Gerianne is smiling and wearing winter clothing.
