Lynn Brown

May 5, 2021

Lynn Brown was a typical working mom with two children and a supportive husband. Life was good. Yet, at a point when her career was peaking, and they were coordinating family schedules well, Lynn began to feel that it was not the right place for her to be. Both she and her husband traveled for their respective jobs and they could afford a great nanny to allow for that. She had been worried that her youngest daughter did not seem to be in the best health. The pediatricians found nothing wrong, but we all know a mother’s instinct holds a power over traditional medicine. She and her husband began the conversation of “should she give up her job”. In the end that was her choice. She loved her work, and the lifestyle it afforded. But sometimes we must make choices that are right for ourselves or our families. Her chapter in The Lemonade Stand is about making the most of your beautiful life. We are only given one. Everyone has a different set of circumstances and we are ultimately in the drivers’ seat to steer the course of our life. It may take sacrifice, but often it is our heart, more than our head that should influence our decision.

Nothing in life quite compares with the beauty and strength behind a mother’s love. Julie Jones and I discuss the joys and hardship of raising children, especially with a disability. Julie experienced that x 2 with both of her daughters. Most women enter motherhood with little to no training. None of us come prepared to know how to take care of the additional needs of a child born with a disability, illness, or physical challenge of any kind. Julie shares her unconditional love and determination to ensure her daughters could have a remarkable life.
