National Down Syndrome Awareness Month

October is National Down Syndrome Awareness month so I wanted to share the following in honor of our little man....

My face may be different but my feelings the same.

I laugh and I cry and take pride in my gains.

I was sent here among you to teach and to love.

As God in the heavens looks down from above.

To Him, I’m no different, His love has no bounds;

It’s those here among you in cities and towns

That judge me by standards that man has imparted,

But this family I’ve chosen will help me get started.

For I am one of the children, so special and few,

that came here to learn the same just as you.

That love and acceptance, it must come from the heart.

We all have a purpose, though not the same start.

The Lord gave me life, to live and embrace.

And I’ll do it as you do but at my own pace.

We love you Jack!!
