Dinner together in Fresno

MY Mother is incredible!!!

My Mother, Glennyce Cropper is an extraordinary woman! Not only is she an incredible mother, wife, daughter and grandmother of 12, she is also the exact definition of a mother who has strength, fortitude, determination, courage & endless love. She IS and always has been my very best friend, whom I go to first and foremost for EVREYTHING! An example of her fortitude & perseverance is demonstrated in my own personal beginnings.

I was born with Hypotonic Cerebral Palsy, leaving my entire body crippled like a rag doll. I was not diagnosed until finally after 72 doctors validated my mother’s concerns & assured her that something was definitely wrong! Her journey continued & so began her incredibly exhausting & difficult journey to making her daughter become as normal as possible.

Do to this very crippling disorder, I had communication disorders, sensory impairments, mental retardation & learning disabilities. My mom created a physical therapy room in her home & spent four hours every day in pattern therapy to strengthen my muscles & teach my brain motor development & coordination by moving around my legs, arms & entire body. Additionally, I attended a speech therapist for several years for my speech & language disorders. She also flew to Orange County weekly for additional special therapy.

I do not know another woman who would dedicate their entire life to rebuilding, re-teaching & providing all of the required tools in order to ensure that her daughter has the very best opportunities & confidence to achieve anything that was possible. Due to her dedication, I am a normal woman with no side affects! She is an amazing mother and my best friend!
