7-Day Countdown to Our Mom’s Murphys Don’t Quit Book Release on October 5th!
A post from each of the SEVEN Murphy Kids, AKA SLESKRM — Sam, Lauren, Erin, Shannon, Kelsey, Ryan & Maggie – and our Dad (Lauren and our Dad will post together)
Countdown – 6 Days until the Murphys Don’t Quit Book Release!
Today’s Post is from: Ryan
Murphy Kid Order/Number: I am the second youngest of 7 and only boy of the family.
Quick background: I am 22 years old and wrapping up my final year at Mizzou. In the spring, I will be starting my first big boy job in finance.
Favorite part of the book: My favorite part of this book is being able to share Lauren’s story with those who I’ve grown close with over the years that were not familiar with Lauren’s journey.
Ryan’s Post:
I was 12 years old when I was told my sister had a portion of her brain removed.
I was scared, confused, and unsure of what would come next. However, during all of this I never felt alone. Perhaps that is an indication to the family that my mother and father had built over these years. I was fortunate enough to have a vast support system to rely on for the several months following my sister’s accident. This book is a testament to all that my family has gone through on this long road to recovery. I am incredibly proud of both Lauren and my mother for all that they have accomplished since that fateful day. I often find myself in times of despair and look to those two as a sign to keep moving forward, after all Murphys Don’t Quit!
