Explanation of Brain Injury:  TWO of my children have TBI’s. In 2008, my 13 year old son sustained a severe TBI from a car accident. In 2011, my 22 year old daughter also sustained a severe TBI from a car accident.

Explanation of Mask:  The mask is separated by fazes of my growth. The black center is the FEAR FOR THE FUTURE. The other colors balance the time in our lives to work thru all the therapy and life changes TOGETHER S A FAMILY & eventually the outside world. The yellow is where we live emotionally and mentally at peace with understanding & communication. And, mostly trust in God to guide us through it all.
