We met at Texas A&M University, where our paths crossed during our undergraduate studies. Living in the same apartment building, we quickly became friends and eventually more. "We were young but knew what we wanted out of life together," Ryan recalls, emphasizing our shared faith as the foundation of our marriage.

From the start, we both dreamed of having a family. "Even in our dating life, we were clear about wanting children," Tracey shares. Our family grew with the births of William and Daniel, each bringing their unique energy and joy into our home. William, our empathetic old soul, and Daniel, our lively spirit, set the stage for a dynamic family life.

The birth of our third son, Bradley, brought unforeseen challenges. Born with PFFD, Bradley's condition was a surprise, missed by prenatal ultrasounds. Ryan vividly remembers the moment of discovery, a mix of shock and uncertainty. "It was a complete shock," he admits, as we navigated the early days of understanding Bradley's needs.

Throughout our journey, faith has been our guiding light. "God's timing is always perfect," Ryan reflects, drawing strength from our belief that Bradley's story is part of a divine plan. Tracey, too, found solace in her faith, supported by a community of friends and family who offered prayers and encouragement.

As we embraced our new reality, we found strength in each other. William's wisdom and Daniel's playfulness provided balance, while Bradley's tenacity inspired us all. "He loves Mickey Mouse and pop-up books," Tracey smiles, painting a picture of a spirited child full of life and curiosity.

Our story is one of love, faith, and the power of community. As we continue our journey, we're grateful for the support and guidance that have carried us through. "Our life is infinitely better now," Ryan concludes, a testament to the unexpected blessings that have shaped our family.
