Sun-Beams is a collection of links to stories, articles, photos, or videos I have come across that I believe will inspire, inform, or encourage you, as well as my favorite photo posted on my other blog, Violet Film, from the past week.
Boy’s ‘True Colors’ Cover Reminds World His Sister With Down Syndrome Is Like Any Other Kid – Yep, it’s rapper MattyB again!
Teen with Down syndrome represents ninth-graders at North Oconee homecoming – These stories have become more common the past few years, but this one caught my eye because the teen has mosaic Down syndrome, like Nathan.
Kanye West and proving your disabilities – Yes, I’m weary of Kanye, too, but this opinion piece isn’t really about him.
Photo of the Week:
Nathan was all about helping Sissy out at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday.
What an amazing family you are. So truly inspirational. When I say truly I think of the way several people in challenging situations work hard at convincing themselves about how to go on and handle life. When I saw the look in your eyes (Andi) with your newborn son on your lap, the picture said more than a million words, you looked so balanced and insightful and in charge of your own life, and your writing all over this blog reflect the same image. I probably would have panicked in several of the instances you have described here to be honest, and I applaud you for setting such an example. Wish you all the best! Love from Norway.
Thanks so much, Ragnhild! I assure you, though, that there have been many hours of anxiety in my life! But I do my best. 🙂
