Our Jacob 
I just discovered your blog today & I felt compelled to leave you a comment. As the mother of an adorable 17 month old boy (who also happens to have Down Syndrome) I can relate to many of the thoughts & emotions expressed in your posts. I only wish that I could articulate my own ideas with such honesty & humor. Looking forward to reading more about your journey with Jacob. Keep those posts coming! 🙂
This is such a beautiful movement, in every sense of the term. When the World Special Olympics came to Ireland a few years back, I watched the opening ceremony live on TV, and found myself being very moved by the pure joy expressed by total stangers, who happened to be a little different from me. I remember being surprised by their beauty, and crying….
Little did I know that only a few short years later I would have much closer reasons to be emotional when looking into the beautiful face of my grandson…
Best of luck to all of them, athletes and organisers alike.
