Love has the power to transform– that’s what I learned yesterday.
It’s 1 : 35 PM on day 1126 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, read 1 Kings 5, feed myself boiled egg and Bran Flakes for breakfast, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature, go to church, go visit people, continue reading House Rules by Jodi Picoult and tweet and Facebook about my campaign -$1020 raised 2 days to go.
Yesterday I came across Perfect – a story about Heath who writes a letter to his second daughter confessing that he wanted her to be aborted when he found she had Down Syndrome – what I love about this story is that it illustrates the transformative power of love here is this guy who wanted to abort his baby because she has Down Syndrome now walking around with Down Syndrome tattooed across his chest.
