This is Carol S. Madigan’s first attempt at writing in which she has chosen to share her unique story of what it was like to grow up with CP and the challenges and triumphs that it has brought along with aging with a disability. Carol lives on Long Island with her husband Brian and has a son Kevin and daughter in law Erica. Carol is enjoying her retirement along with her family with time spent learning new hobbies like photography and traveling as much as she can, and also following her passion for her much maligned New York Mets and New York Islanders. She also enjoys listening to her 80’s music especially Billy Joel.
