Happy World Down Syndrome Day!
Today’s date, 3/21, represents 3 copies of the 21st chromosome: the genetic condition known as “trisomy 21,” or “Down syndrome.” We are so thankful for our precious Gracie. There is not one thing we would change about her! She is more perfect than we will ever be! Every day, she teaches us so much about life and what is truly important. Because of Grace, we have learned to appreciate the little stuff, to slow down and enjoy the journey, to love unconditionally, to stop being judgemental, to always smile, the list goes on. She captivates the hearts of all she meets and has made each member of our family a better person. She is also very lucky to have a loving brother who would go to the ends of the earth for her.
She truly has taught us that life is an occasion--and we should rise to it! We love you Butterfly!
