Just awesome

I had to share this. It's an Open Letter to Parents Facing a Diagnosis of Down Syndrome written by an internet friend of mine, Lisa Morguess. (She blogs about her life on Adventures in Motherhood and Finnian's Journey.) I think that all parents of Special Needs kids can probably relate.

These kids will teach us more about ourselves and the world than we could ever dream was possible.

Sweet

Our little family went to the beach today for a fall photo session with my wonderfully talented cousin, Tracy. While there, Jesse saw a little girl, maybe about 14-16 months old, crouched down, crying. Obviously concerned, he went over to her, crouched down next to her and put his hand on her shoulder, checking to see if she was OK. She stopped crying, looked at Jesse, smiled, and said "Hi, baby!"

I love the effect my sweet boy has on people.
