And Then Came Along Someone Special

Filed under: family, general — themommyincharge @ 7:36 pm

A year ago this February, along came someone special, to us.  Our dear sweet nephew, Baby Gage.

He has touched our hearts and opened our eyes in more ways than I can describe.  It is because of Gage we are walking in this years Buddy Walk.  To honor the little boy that stole our hearts.

The Buddy Walk was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to promote acceptance and awareness of people with Down syndrome.

Over 200 Buddy Walks take place in North America every year. In general, the Buddy Walk has three primary goals:

1. To promote equal opportunities for people with Down syndrome;

2. To raise funds locally and nationally

3. To enhance the position of the Down syndrome community.

So, on behalf of myself Cathy, my husband Chris and our Daughter Mckenna, Gage’s Aunt, Uncle & Cousin we ask you to do one or two things.  To do what you can.

1) Give generously!  Or give what you can by donating below.  Every dollar helps and with it we thank you.

2) At your next opportunity, big or small, DO something or SAY something or BE someone who is Compassionate toward, and gives something of themselves, for a Very Special Person with Down Syndrome.

You’ll make the world a better place, and we could ALL use a little of that!

Thank you for your donations.  Receipts will be mailed to the address given during the paypal checkout.

All Aboard

As you may know (from the recent I Am Patient Sale) we’ve been away on a Fall Vacation.  A week visiting family in Ottawa, Ontario which included a luxurious trip to Quebec City and the Chateau Frontenac.

Our trip was Planes, Trains and Automobiles for sure this time and by far the favorite for my daughter, and I, was the trains.

There is nothing like a train trip through Quebec in October when the leaves are changing and the weather is perfectly crisp yet sunny.

The views were amazing and our photos from the train hardly do it justice.

 

No vacations on the horizon, so back to work I suppose.
