Cassie Fiano at PJ Lifestyle gives
9 Reasons Down Syndrome Won’t Ruin Your Life. This is a great post in which Cassie admits with humility and honesty the uncertainties that she had, uncertainties that might be shared by many mothers. Coming straight from the heart, this would be a good post to keep bookmarked somewhere for when you meet someone who is worried about having a Downs syndrome child, especially if they are under pressure to "terminate" that child's life.

Many years ago, I knew a couple whose oldest child had muscular dystrophy from birth and who died at 12. Not only did he bring his family back to Catholicism, but created an atmosphere of love in the house which was infectious. His two young siblings, perfectly normal, looked up to him for wisdom and love.
He never complained. He remembered everyone's names. He was a gift to the world.
I consider all children with disabilities, either physical or mental or both as pure gifts from God. We need to always reach out to parents who are raising these special ones of God. Thank you for this posting.
