Quality of Life Week--Day Four--Love

I think I read some time ago that someone responding with a comment (not sure what that person was responding to, so excuse the fuzziness here) "accused" children with special needs of not being able to tell the difference between a person and a door. Or maybe it had to do with Trisomy 18 children. I don't know, but the gist of the problem is in this accusation.

Even if that's not a true comment and I'm thinking I read about it, there are people out there who think that way.

I'd like to introduce them to Lily. . .and to other Trisomy 18 children, I might add.

I chose "love" for today's topic because this little girl knows how to love! You can see it in her eyes. You can feel it in her interactions. And might I add that she does not give the same response to a door.

I'll also add that her love goes beyond this family. The video that I'm posting tonight shows Lily interacting with a lady from our church, C. I've edited the video (so it's a good bit shorter than the original) because C asked me not to put her on YouTube, which is how I get my videos onto Blogger, but if you were to see the whole video, you would see that Lily is interacting with someone who is not a family member! But again, look into her eyes. See the joy that she showers others with.

I just love it that my little girl knows how to spread the love!

  2. I think someone said that phrase when responding in a comment to one of the stories about Faith. Well, I certainly can't tell the difference between a door and the person who made the comment. :)
