  Featuring:Adrian Dunklin Photography: Felecia Causey My name is Adrian Dunklin. In 2012, I was diagnosed with sarcoidosis. It’s a chronic lung disease that turns your body against itself basically.  I never knew I had this disease because I was so full of life! I beat the odds of conceiving and gave birth to my first daughter. I began to feel as though I couldn’t breathe one day so I decided to finally get up and go to the doctor. Upon my examination, my doctor informed me that I have what she believed to be a collapsed lung. I was sent to the hospital.

I can personally say, I have the best mother-in-law a lady could ask for. Unfortunately, I know many people can not say the same. The struggles many people have with their in-laws issues, can become a nightmare. The understanding that everyone will not like you, plays an important role. I am sure we have heard the saying “when you marry someone, you marry the whole family”. I know there are many who believe that, but there are others that don’t. They felt like their vows were only to his/her spouse. I have heard several horror stories, from a mother-in-law who is constantly in the relationship to the dealing of sister-in-laws that starts confrontations or the in-laws that constantly ask for money. There are a lot of people that have dealt with many issues, before getting married, during the ma
