You - and your daughter - are two of the most beautiful people I've "e-met" and I couldn't agree with your message more. Through the years, we have known several families who have children that have "something extra" - but, I perhaps gained the most insight from my neighbor and friend whose son was also born with that something extra special. They have brightened - and enlightened - my world.... And, as you know, there are all kinds of "special" challenges that God has blessed some of his children with... You both make my heart sing....

It has been a difficult path at times, but she is a sweet girl. I know that God gave her to us because he knew we would love her and take care of her. Youngsters are not always the inappropriate ones, adults can be also when we are out "in public." God bless your and Annie. She is a beautiful young lady.

I think you know that I work with 3 little ones with DS. I love all three of them so much, they are the sweetest children. The little Miss that sits next to me doesn't refer to me as Mrs. Frank, but just "Frank" which comes out like "Crank". We all laugh in our room - I'm sure that's what she thinks of me most of the time - Cranky, as part of my job is to make sure that she is following directions and we do butt heads occasionally (like every hour!) I often have to turn my head so she doesn't see me smiling. These 3 little ones are such a bright spot in my day. <br /><br />I am also bothered by the "R" word. It shows the ignorance of the speaker.<br /><br />~Ann Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546132613947684807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649254129565958928.post-63296586431640321682013-03-22T18:55:48.077-04:002013-03-22T18:55:48.077-04:00Robyn, I'm glad that you are writing about abo...Robyn, I'm glad that you are writing about about Down Syndrome on your post today to raise awareness. I know that there are many ignorant people who have no manners and are hurtful. Your daughter has always come across as a very pretty and sweet young lady. She always looks smiling and happy and has been in many more beautiful places than I ever will.<br /><br />Our Co-op has employed a man with Down Syndrome for years and he is the one in care of stacking eggs on the shelves and he does such a careful job. I've never had to worry about cracked eggs. He also has other duties to do and is very reliable. We all love him. He's friendly.<br /><br />I have two grandchildren with Asperger Syndrome and one of them is more affected than the other. They both are so very talented and intelligent but suffer in the social skills area. For them it's difficult to understand why people don't think like they do. It's hasn't been easy for them either so I totally understand. Sometimes I hurt too.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649254129565958928.post-54297966454818768892013-03-22T18:40:58.281-04:002013-03-22T18:40:58.281-04:00Wonderful post Robyn and well said.
