A Father's Love Through Extremely Challenging Times with Lee Tonks

This week’s episode is honest, vulnerable, raw, tearful, extremely challenging, brave, heart breaking, and also hopeful.

This is Lee Tonk’s 1st time telling his story. He is a private person and for most of Remy’s life he traveled this journey of parenting a child with a disability in silence and alone. And, it is emotional. We both cry. We laugh a little too.

But, a lot of what Lee shares is brutally honest. At times, I cringed at his experiences and my heart felt the tug of sorrow and grief. 

This episode might be really hard for some of you to listen to but I really encourage you to take the time needed to hear Lee, understand his journey, and know that if you’re going through a similar situation, there is hope. As Lee says towards the end of our discussion, I’d give it all up to have her back.” 

Thank you for listening. I hope you know you aren’t alone. Please let me know if this episode helped you feel a little more connected to our community of parents and children.
