A short autobiography

I'm not your typical person. I was diagnosed at the age of 5 with a mild case of cerebral palsy. Growing up that didn't allow for me to have a ton of friends. Luckily for me I was blessed with very few great ones. While in community college I met the love of my life in a chat room. We dated long distance and almost a year after our first date, David and I got married. Along the way we decided it's better for me to not work due to the physical stress on my body. To fill my time I worked on my family history and really started putting some time into drawing and painting. We both loved kids and tried for 6 long years starting at age 22 to have a child of our own. When we basically gave up hope we had CJ. Now that I have a toddler running around I still try to find time to do both of my hobbies. One day I hope to turn the art into a source of income and sell my work.
