Ashley and Alayna: A Mother's Story

Person's Name:

September 16 through December 20 will stand out in Ashley’s mind.

Forever.

These are the days she spent in the hospital with her feisty three-year-old, Alayna, for conditioning and bone marrow transplant.

The summer of 2019 was already big with a wedding to plan.  The toddler and her baby brother were enjoying everything that small ones do, including riding dirt bikes with Daddy.
