Hi, my name is LaDonna Akens Elam. I am 65 and had my stroke August 20, 2016. At this point in my life, I am separated from my spouse, I have four grown kids, 30 some odd grandkids and for great grandsons. Before I got married, I used to write poetry often but then I quit. Since my stroke has been the only way I could get my feelings out. And I am so thankful for all the wonderful people that helped me to be able to do it!
