Nineteen years ago today I gave birthday to a beautiful and perfect little baby. As she left the delivery room, the nurse looked into your face and exclaimed “What beautiful eyes.” What we didn’t know at the time was that the sparkles in your eyes were Brushfield spots and an indicator of Down Syndrome.
You have grown into a sweet, funny and good young man and your hold on my heart is indissoluble. You have taught me more than any teacher, you have influenced me more than any philosopher and you have given me more pleasure in knowing than could any celebrity. This is your day, my sweet boy. To me, every day is your day and I look forward to making the rest of your life as wonderful as you have made mine.
