Having a child with Down syndrome admits you to an exclusive club, where meeting other individuals and families living with Down syndrome
means you never truly meet a stranger.
You have and immediate bond.
You have an immediate interest.
This is a club,
that I didn't want to join,
at first.
However, my life has been changed,
enhanced, improved and energized, by the
opportunities and people that have
entered my life because of
this amazing journey we are on together.
When we first received the pre-natal diagnosis
of Down syndrome,
the amazing people of the Utah Down Syndrome Foundation,
made sure we had information,
access to support,
and visits from those who had lived
what we were now experiencing.
The following was included in the packet we received.
"Welcome to Holland"
I included this as a link,
this site has permission to reprint this...and I do not.
This is the best explanation of what life is like.
I hope you enjoy reading it,
and I hope it brings understanding
~ if you aren't living with disability ~
and comfort if you are.
Down syndrome has opened our eyes.
Broadened our relationships,
and brought the most incredible
people into our lives.
The most amazing and incredible
being our Kyle.
