So this is National Down syndrome awareness month...OCTOBER...I am so thankful for the journey we have been on...I never knew Down syndrome would be part of my life...I never knew I would feel the way I do about my youngest son, who happens to have an extra chromosome...the love, the admiration, the joy, the innocence, the happiness and more! I can remember the initial shock when I was 5 months pregnant...I can remember grieving the son I thought I was preparing for...but those moments didn't last long...I can remember the relief in putting my trust in God to prepare me for a different journey...a different path in life and I can not thank God enough, even to this day.
October is Down syndrome Awareness month and if there is a way to touch someone this month by reading my blog or the amazing blogs I follow...I am going to challenge myself to write something everyday...there is a slogan "31 for 21" ...31 days of awareness for Trisomy 21.
As I look at the picture above, I couldn't be more happier in life...my family is complete. I have a wonderful husband, 3 beautiful children. A great extended family who love and adore Brayden and have been touched by Down syndrome in their lives as well. I can't thank our friends enough too for their continual support and love. Brayden is so lucky to have you all...and I want to say to all my blogging buddies, thanks for being such a big extended family...the support, advice, and admiration I have for all of you is extraordinary...
Here is to Day 1 of blogging for the 31 days in October...Oh, I don't know if I can do it but I will try...:) Weekends are going to be the hardest for me, as I hardly get on...but I will give it my best...lol..
