My name is Shelli and I've been married since November 1995 to my best friend, Martin. We've had three beautiful children. Our son, Grant, was with us for 29 days before he died in surgery trying to repair one of his three heart defects. His short life and death have blessed us in so many wonderful ways! We will see him again! Our daughters, Graison and Alli Claire, are here with us and we are able to enjoy them daily! We have two cats, Heidi who's almost 18 yrs old and Lucy Jane who's 4 yrs. These are the basics. Our dialy experiences change us and hopefully make us better people. And for that, we are thankful!
