did you know?

Did you know that I cry when I see Maddie…not because she has an extra chromosome…but because that is how much I love her…I love her so much that I get a nervous stomach and I tear up…I do this because I cannot fix her hurts…I can not take away the forever medications or the future surgeries…I cry because in my eyes she epitomizes perfection…true perfection…this is Down Syndrome awareness month…and did you know that if you ever a child like mine...it will be ok…and that you will learn to love that child more then anything…did you know that you will find strength when you thought you did not…did you know that you will rise up and be a strong voice…and a voice that will be taken seriously…did you know that you will fight harder then you knew you could or ever wanted to…all things I have learned in 17 months of being Maddie’s mom…I cry because I love her…I just love her…
