Down Syndrome Moms
I have a lot of very close friends and family that do not have a child with DS, may not really know much about DS, and give me a lot of love and support. I love them dearly for all that they do to support me, my family and especially Evie.
I don't know how to explain it, but there is just something about the Mom's that I have met through the Down Syndrome community. Something that makes me feel comforted, something that makes me feel understood, something that makes me feel positive about my life in general and something that makes me feel as if I have known them forever.
I know that we have the obvious bond and that they have felt my emotions, have the similar fears and have actually walked in my shoes. But there is more. I think that God must pick certain people for a reason when he delivers little DS babies. He knows just where to find the best people with compassion, humor and a strong sense of what life is all about. I feel so blessed to not only have Evelyn in my family, but to have been given the opportunity to meet some of the world's coolest people because of her.
