This journal is for my beloved children and grandchildren...
...and for Dear Hubby if he outlives me
I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that ‘making a living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life.’ I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day. I want to dedicate this particular blog entry to little Clayton, the first grandson of my friend Karen who was born a few months ago with Down Syndrome. And to all of God's other Special Little Angels in the World.
Creed of the Down Syndrome Baby
My face may be different
But my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As God in the Heavens
Looks down from above
To Him I'm no different
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
That man has imparted
But this family I've chosen
Will help me get started
For I'm one of the children
So special and few
That came here to learn
The same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It must come from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not the same start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do
But at my own pace.

And please take a moment to go here to enjoy a beautiful photo montage and music celebrating some more Special Babies....
In God's eyes, we're all created equal.
