Welcome to Samsmom. I'm Heather and this is my journey as we navigate love, loss, rare disease, hope and resilency. Our family carries a POLG-1 genetic mutation that took my two children, Jack and Samantha and most recently, my brother Ryan. It's not an easy place to be, but here we are- with humor, love and grace, here we are.

Hi- I'm Heather. Welcome to my blog. Almost 20 years of archived life watching my loves impacted by mitochondrial disease. We have a POLG-1 mutation that manifests as mitochondrial myopathy. I have lost my two littles and a brother to this terrible disease but here we are; standing, battered, resilient, and searching for joy everyday. Thanks for being on the journey with us.
