Happy World Down syndrome Awareness Day
posted Thursday March 25th, 2010
No, it’s not technically today.
I didn’t know (or maybe I knew and forgot) that Sunday, March 21, was World Down syndrome Awareness Day.
Sophie and I were waiting at the car wash when I noticed Maya had posted some lovely thoughts about Leo, in honor of the day.
Whoops.
I went home and told Ray, who said exactly what I knew he’d say: “Every day is World Down syndrome Awareness Day in our house.”
True. Still, I let Sophie pick out some chocolate mint ice cream sandwiches for dessert. I didn’t tell her why.
Tonight I saw a lovely post from Sunday by StarrLife, who linked to this video, called “I Have a Voice.”

You’re hubby’s right about the everyday part! Thanks for introducing me to Maya too! Thanks for the mention- I blush you know. And cry….
Hey, who you calling a crier? : )
OK, off to get some tissues and indulge myself in some good tears.
BTW, I decided the other day that I am truly Holly Hunter in “Broadcast News.” That morning cry is just as needed as the coffee. I swear it gives me energy!
And Ray is a wise man!
