Gage came into the world in 2014 and has been making a big impact ever since. He was born with congenital cytomegalovirus, or CMV. Although the effects of this illness weren’t clear from day one, Gage’s family set out on a journey that would prove life altering. As they navigate Gage’s unique reality, which includes cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy, they’ve grieved and grown and so much more, but most of all, they loved.

In early 2020, generous family members helped Gage get a minivan to suit his needs. The impact of that gift has been felt each day since, and the ripple effect spreads even further, inspiring Gage’s family to help others in the same way!

There are many aspects of our journey that are painful and at times hard to bear, but I cannot control these things, just like I cannot control when my grief decides to reappear. But what I can control is how I respond to these situations.
