Down Syndrome with bless 1 in 800 births this year.
And what a blessing it has been. Cam is now 17 months old and so full of love and joy. He is learning to walk and is so proud of himself every step he takes. I have had the blessing of sharing Cam with the world and seeing how people light up when he enters the room. I spent the day at Paul Mitchell Beauty School with Amber this week. I had all I could do to keep track of Cam and who had a hold of him next. He brought out such love and joy and inner child of all that he came in touch with.
While we where there Amber transformed Weston for her school project. She did an amazing job and I am so proud of the woman she has become. Thank you Paul Mitchell in Provo for educating Amber and for loving Cam.
I just read through your whole blog and the tears are pooling--it is almost something that must be experienced in the fleeting moments--how these children, and in my case adults, move through our lives touching everyone in the most profound ways. Recently, my son, who has had challenges of his own said, "The most influential person or event in my life is Andy, he has made me who I am." This is an unusual relationship because Andy is older and Zac has had to humbly remain the younger brother even though he drives Andy, takes him to movies, out to eat etc. he is very good and making sure Andy still feels like the older, wiser one. Anyway, so much good--but there are still tears at the crossroads. Thanks for sharing!
