I Believe!

"It is all very simple. Just believe."  These are the words from the mama of a lovely young woman with Down syndrome who has surpassed so many of her early expectations.  

Reading her words, I was struck again by something that I found so powerful just a few short months ago:

"Your hopes must be bigger than your fears."

Hopes don't have to be outlined into specific skill-sets.  Dreams don't have to be so specific that you will shatter if every detail is not realized.

Believing in your child is a simple thing.  A powerful thing.  The truest expression of our absolute love.

And that, I can do.
