The Amos Family
This picture friends, is a REAL take on a family photo! I thought maybe you would find the humor in it since we have all had our share of tears getting that “perfect” Christmas card pic.
We have a beautiful blended family. I am so proud to be able to do life with these amazing people. When you say, here is more about the author, you can not really be fair unless you share who has been on the journey with her. These lives have helped mold me into the advocate I am today. They have pushed me, stressed me, blessed me. I am constantly humbled and in admiration of their joyous spirits. Meet Brad, Breanna, Sam and Graydon.

“Guide my hands, and let them lead
To comfort pain and in you believe.
Guide my heart when I can’t go on
I haven’t slept and now it’s dawn.
Guide my words to help and uplift
Even if inside of strength I am stripped. ”
