Children are a heritage from the Lord,

offspring a reward from him.

– Psalm 127: 3

It’s 1 :  20 PM on day 1782  of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  pray, read Matthew 14,    publish my Disability of the Day feature, learn one new thing – the vast majority (more than 90 percent) of bird species are monogamous. That doesn’t necessarily mean mating for life. Some species are monogamous for just one breeding season. – have breakfast, make sandwiches for Cynthia’s ( our housekeeper’s) neighborhood with mom’s help as part of  Virginia’s Sandwich Run – (thank you sisi Cynthia  for all your help) –    and  promote my Educate Generations campaign – $3 372 raised so far (thanks everyone )

Recently while on Facebook I came across a story about a couple adopting a girl who has Down Syndrome from China and although I was happy for the little girl and the family I hated the article because it made the adoptive couple seem like saints for adopting the girl with Down Syndrome meanwhile that little girl will give to her adoptive family  as much as they give to her I hate it when the media perpetuates this idea that differently-abled people are burdens on society people like me and that little girl have much to contribute to this world because we’ve had to learn how to do things differently.
