My heart goes out to you. I have 4 boys and 1 girl and my only girl has Autism. I feel so blessed. Watching videos like yours is an inspiration to me. There is a reason for everything we are dealt with and/or given by God.

Thank you so very much for this heartwarming video. My grandaughter was born in 1998, with Down Syndrome. Without folks like you, I am sure that the opportunities made to her wouldn't be as avaiable as they are today, and will hopefully continue throughout her life. Thank you for sharing your very handsome son with the world!
