Welcome To My Hood adulthood, wifehood and motherhood
Who am I?
Hi! My name is Marrisa and some people call me Mar. I am a wife, working momma of 3 kiddos and I am passionate about my relationship with Christ.
I have been married almost 10 years to my husband, and we do not have a perfect marriage. However it is a process, it is a life journey we choose to live together. We have been through some things that we never that we would but in the end we are both there for each other working our way through life.
My eldest daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 7, she’s now 16. It has been a world wind for sure managing life with a T1D doing through life’s changes and helping her figure it out on her own. She also struggles with ADHD (it’s the only diagnosis they will give her). I am starting so see some positive changes this year in her and excited to see her grow.
My son was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy three years ago, the first year we had many doctors' appointments learning about the disease as well as setting up a plan to keep him on his feet as long as possible. Now we manage his pain, mobility and keep up to date on all the researcher for a cure. Our goal is to keep him independently active as long as possible. He’s a smart, funny, caring, little man and lights up a room.
My baby is 5 and I love watching her grow every day! She is so excited to start school and sucks up everything this world has to offer. She will be the first to step up and protect her brother as well as tell him to stop looking at her. It has been such a blessing watching their relationship grow.
I love supporting others and showing them what they are capable of doing. I was raised around strong women and have tried to be the same and raise the same. I am a listener and watcher this is how I learn about others. Once I’m comfortable around you watch out, the Fbombs come a flying and I’ll probably tell you too much information at times.
I am here to share my story to help other work through whatever they are going through. I want others to not feel so alone in this complex world. Everyone wants to put on a show and only share the good stuff, and I am here to share it all! I’ve been through something’s and felt very alone along my journey and I don’t want anyone else to feel that way too!
