Yesterday at church, I saw a woman put her arm around a young man in our congregation, and it made me tear up. It touches me every time I see someone welcome and accept a person with Down syndrome, because I feel they would have accepted my daughter.
I hope you will take a few minutes to watch this video. It just says it all. I love the way Kelle Hampton advocates for her daughter and all people with Down syndrome.
I am missing my Liza Jane these days. I wish I could have seen her grow up and find out what her interests would have been.
One message in this video is to "be the change" you want to see. I hope I will have the grace to extend love and acceptance to all those who cross my path.
