World Down Syndrome Day!!!
Today is world Down syndrome day 2011. Many people would think of Down syndrome as a negative. For the five of us, it is the best thing that ever happened. Matthew and Nicholas have changed our lives. Alice has as well, but the extra-chromosome of cuteness makes all five us a better person and adds to the world...so today we celebrate.
Nicholas was not taken by the down syndrome or by God for that matter, Nicholas had a weak heart and his little heart just could not keep up, so we wait for a new day. Matthew is seven and doing very well. We are very proud of our boys. We also thank God for them in our lives.
So, Have a great day, watch the video below for inspiration, and in honor of World Down Syndrome Day...give someone a huge HUG just because...you know I love ya, Don
Thank You for taking a look at my blog page. Feel welcome and ask questions.
I am married to Karen, we have five children. Matthew, Alice, Nicholas, Kendyll, & Nathan.
Matthew and Alice are our biological children. Nicholas was adopted and we long for the day we are reunited because he passed away from Heart Surgery complications at 2 months old. Kendyll is child number 4 and adopted from Ukraine. Nathan is our teddy bear and is child number 5. Nathan was adopted from California. I do not believe biology makes a parent...it helps you get there, but parenting takes work and dedication covered in Prayer!
I have degrees from Hope International University and Johnson University. I am extremely grateful for the many secular and religious adventures in CA, TN, VA, IN, and PA I have been blessed to embark on over 25 years ... AND this is only the beginning!
I like to close with, "You know I love ya" ... because it is true.
