We are a group of friends who have come together because we share the common bond of caring for someone who has Trisomy 21. We are here to share therapy tips, medical issues, laughs, accomplishments and yes, even frustrations. We embrace what Trisomy 21 has brought into our lives. We feel that it has taught us to appreciate the true meaning of life. We count our children as blessings! We will fiercely protect them and fight for their lives to be valued just as all other peoples' are. We share our pictures, our stories and our hearts here not only to provide friendship and support for each other, but also in the hopes that others will open their minds and their hearts to our unique children and, in turn, make a better world for everyone.

Response to Graduating and I'm scared

 

Hi, my name is Suzanne (36) and I am the sister to Julie (21). My dear sister just graduated in June, our mother and entire family thought it would be so horrible for her, she loves schools. She walked across that stage with the other 219 students and tears flowed down everyones face, she waved and said"my sister is out there" I couldn't have been prouder of her. As she walked back up the row she spotted me and ran to me and then cried. I don't think she knew exactly what the next day would bring. She now goes to a sheltered workshop, she doesn't really interact with the other workers just the staff. She loves 'work' and won't miss a day. I feel sad when I stop and see her during her lunch break, however she is very happy there. She still does her 'homework' and loves to play school. I have a 6 and 8 year old and she is right at their level. My mother use to drive her regular ed bus and she rode along, now she rides the public bus to work and back. It is a door to door service. Please feel free to e-mail me. this is my first time on this site and happened upon your post.
Suzanne
