I had to watch your video after you posted it on Lexi's blog. Terry is amazing! My daughter Abernathie was born 8-11-11 and I really feel like my purpose now is to show.people our kids are more alike than different and without a doubt life worth living, especially now that tests are more readily available to show earlier diagnosis. Your family is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!!
I am a college student to and taking the DSW course and it is part of my assignment to watch this video. Very nice video and very cute and happy little boy.
AWW, what a beautiful video, i am blessed with 3 lovely daughters, the youngest is 2 and just happens to have trisomy 21. getting the word out is so important. we feel the same way about Cailyn as you do your Terry. He is gorgeous, as are your other children. Thanks for sharing this video!
I am a college student studying to become a Developmental Service worker, and your video is recommended viewing for the course. It gives a great insight to the uninformed of just how special people with DS are and how much we can learn from them. Thank you so much for sharing.
Can you tell me what college you attend!! That is great. Let me know if you ever need any information or insight!! I'm ALWAYS more than willing to share! :)
having an uncle with DS who is in his 50's...i have always believed that God only gives his special children to special people...and your family only confirms my thoughts. GOD BLESS YOU and Terry
Ive come to realize this. I worked with DS students in high school and one undeniable thing about them is they are the happiest people on the planet. I was blessed with a daughter who regressed into autism after a vaccine and although I knew what it was like to have a typical child before the shot, I have learned so many important lessons in life from her since. Patience, understanding & uncontrollable love....we all can learn from these special children. God bless you Terry & ur family <3
Meant to say: You will love your baby, you will want your baby, and your life will be better than you could have every imagined, because you have your baby! Thank you again for your beautiful, thoughtful video!
Thank you so much for this extraordinary video. I can't tell you enough how powerful it is! I have tears running down my face right now and I couldn't have said it better if I tried! Your sentiments are mine exactly. My son, 3-1/2 also has Down Syndrome and his older sister loves him more than any sibling should! All parents awaiting a diagnosis or afraid of a DS diagnosis, right now, need to know that you will your baby more than any words will ever come close to describing!
Isn't he the most handsome thing. I too have a son w/DS and he's the light of my life. I had no idea how much joy could follow after given the detrimental diagnosis. Pure blessings!
18 years ago I was given the choice to terminate my pregnancy. I told the Dr. I kept my other kids, and as teens they were a real pain in the neck, I think I'll keep this one. This June I will be watching her walk in the high school graduation ceremony. I thank God every day for her!!! please check out her video....
When I was just a few months pregnant I had the usual scan and stuff and was told that the baby had Downs Syndrome and that they would arrange for me to "have a termination as soon as possible". My son George is now 13 years old and is the joy of my life, I'm so glad I didn't listen to the doctors.
He is gorgeous, just the same as any child. The statistics are very sad to say the least but have set you apart, as being very special, beautiful people. Take care of you and your amazing boy.
Thank you for this video my youngest brother has DS and llike you said they are a gift. I had to laugh at one point in the video the picture where your son looks like he is upset are mad he has his arms crossed. That looked exactly like m y brother. They are the happiest loving humans yet they cry scream get mad fustrated just like the rest of us.
my nephew has downsydrom and he is part of the world just like all of us he is not differnt we r all dirrerent anyway he could do anything he wants just like us thank u for posting this video :)
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!! your kids are all beautiful I love the pics of your son in the glasses he looks like a grown up little man and he's sure to be a little heartbreaker with this big blue eyes :) thanks for sharing and getting it threw to some that ALL kids are a GIFT FROM GOD!!!
Great job on the Montage!! Your family is beautiful and I agree with every word you wrote and am truely blessed that God Graced our family with Tristan and his extra Chromosome!
What a wonderful video! My son is special needs, but not DS. I've made similar statements during his 16 years. These kids have so much to offer! God bless!
My wife told me about this video, I think you are doing a great thing to get the message out, what a cute kid! he looks alot like my son. Everything you said is 100% correct, I admire my son for all of his gifts and love and strive to be like him everyday. THANK YOU
I have the same blessing from God, three beautiful daughters, the youngest of which has Down syndrome, and I know exactly how you feel. Videos like these are so important, if expectant moms only knew how much of a joy our children were, none of them would be aborted!
A very nice video, my aunt has three children, the first one has down syndrome but she is the prettiest child in our family. She's always happy and she can give a lot of love.. We love our Emilia!
