But Becky Davidson, co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.risingaboveministries.org\"><strong>Rising Above Ministries<\/strong><\/a>, wants you to know they are real!. In her guest blog she explains how they came about and where to find them.\u00a0<\/em>\n<p class=\"c3\"><span class=\"c1\">On a beautiful spring day in May of 1991, I walked down the aisle to marry my Jeff. We had met one year earlier, shortly after I had graduated from college, and we knew right away that we were each other\u2019s \u201cforever love\u201d. \u00a0Within 3 months, we were engaged and a few months later we were getting married. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c3\"><span class=\"c1\">Standing in front of hundreds of our family members and friends, we promised that from that day forward we would love each other&#8230; for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, and that we would love and cherish each other until we were parted by death. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c3\"><span class=\"c1\">We were 23 and 24, and we could not begin to comprehend the way those vows would be tested over our 26 years of marriage. From the loss of our first child through a traumatic miscarriage, to raising our son with profound special needs, and later through Jeff\u2019s significant health issues, we faced more trials than we could have then imagined. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c3\"><span class=\"c1\">Following our son Jon Alex\u2019s birth, we struggled to navigate our new life as special needs parents. I did what many moms do after a diagnosis and threw myself into researching ways to help our son. Jeff, on the other hand, did what many fathers often do. He could not \u201cfix\u201d our son so he threw himself into the arena where he excelled: his job. \u00a0We found ourselves at odds over treatment and therapy options for our son. We were exhausted due to our son\u2019s sleep issues and often found ourselves falling into the pit of despair as we tried to our maneuver through our new normal. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"c3\"><span class=\"c1\">As time went on, we found ways to communicate how we were feeling. We came to a place of acceptance and believed deep in our souls that our son was wonderfully made and created for a plan and purpose. Instead of allowing the hardships and trials we faced to tear us apart, we purposed in our hearts to allow them to draw us closer together.\u00a0<\/span>My life with Jeff did not look the way we envisioned it would on that beautiful spring day when we said our vows to one another. But through it all, we remained faithful to the promises we made to each other, and loved each other well until we were parted by death. <span class=\"c1\">It was an earth shattering loss when in May of 2017, my sweet Jeff passed away, leaving me a widow and our son without a dad. I have been a solo parent to our son for almost three years now. I never dreamed I would be caring for our son and making decisions regarding his care on my own. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"attachment_31270\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31270\" src=\"http:\/\/jolenephilo.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_2127.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31270 alignnone size-medium\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31270\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a0Jeff and Becky Davidson doing life together.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"c3\">When Jeff and I started Rising Above in 2005, we both knew that encouraging married couples raising children with special needs had to be an integral part of our mission.
