How Kelley Navigates Special Needs

I believe every mom has an important story to tell. We all have our own hero’s journey, tailor-made for us. And usually, that journey is nothing like we expect.

Today, we get the privilege of hearing my dear friend Kelley Durrant tell about the unexpected paths she has traveled as a mother. Paths that have included a lot of challenges: infertility, the loss of a daughter; a son with special needs; but also lots of learning, giving, and adventure, including a surprise, record-breaking physical talent; a year living abroad; and a cow named Tina.

How do I begin to describe Kelley Durrant. She’s strong and so are her opinions and her will. This woman does not back down. This makes her a great advocate for her son Cameron. She’s also extremely kind, always looking for a way to help others, even in some of her own hardest times, as you will also see.

She’s also extremely honest. It’s really refreshing to have a friend like Kelley, because you know she’ll always tell you exactly what she thinks.
