Why I Write

Ivey's Mom: I am wife and mom to one husband and two sons doing typical wife and mom things. I am also mom to a teen daughter who happens to have a few labels that separate her into the world of special needs, labels such as medically complex and deafblind. She also has that thing called an IEP, lots of labels there. So, I navigate, advocate and negotiate on little sleep and lots of coffee, all the while trying to keep my 'crazy' tucked nice and tidy on the inside. To help me do that, I write. Some call my writing transparent, others call it 'too much'. I call it real. No matter the thought, no matter the humor, no matter the tears, it is all done for the love of Ivey. Always.
