Dear Friends, who were blessed with an extra chromosome;

I have decided that this World Down Syndrome Awareness Day, I want things to be all about you guys! Thank you for snuggling up to me in the middle of chapel and always wanting to hold my hand. I want you all to know that my love language is touch, so the endless hugs don’t bother me a bit. Thank you for having some of the most infectious personalities. Thank you for letting me act like a fool in front of you. Thank you for having faith like a child, so innocent perfect and pure. Thank you for teaching me to be so different. I used to see you guys in stores and malls and look down or walk the other way. Oh, how I was so wrong, and I misjudged you. And for that I am sorry, because I know that you do not judge. You don’t judge someone based on their appearance or personality but instead you LOVE. You Love with all your heart. My life would not be complete without you guys in it. I hear you giggle and laugh so hard it leads me to smile. I smile at this site because I think God is smiling and laughing along with you. I believe He created you and your bubbly personalities to bring light into this dark and fallen world. He looks down at you and smiles when he sees you giving it your all when you tie your shoe. You have taught me to never out grow being a kid. You have also taught me how to laugh. Your simple, yet silly personalities have the ability to light up any room you walk into. I am beyond thankful for all!! Thank you for the lessons you have taught me and will continue to teach me!!
