Today is March 21st -3-21 Also know as Down Syndrome Acceptance Day.
I knew little about DS until our family was blessed with Graham. Graham is my cousin’s son, and even though he is small, so many are better for knowing him. His smile and the way he hugs or looks in your eyes, I just feel closer to God when with him.
Each year, we get a cute postcard of Graham with information about Downs and with the explanation that we celebrate through random acts of kindness. This could be buying coffee for strangers or sending flowers to someone who makes a difference in big or small ways.
3/21 has become a holiday I anticipate and plan at least a few weeks in advance. I can’t wait to see the faces tomorrow! I hope they will pass on the love!
Thank you, Graham, for helping me do some good I know I should, but otherwise would not take the time to do!

This is so cool, glad you have Graham to love and appreciate! What a lovely slice! have you heard of Madeline you can find her on madelinesmodelling (I think) on Instagram, she is the first girl with DS to have a career as a model, she’s delightful!

I will have to check her website out. There was a reality show on for a few episodes that I think features her.

We do a crazy socks day to increase awareness. Your idea is so personal. I love it. Check out our school’s video on my twitter feed @readingteachsu. It was made by our Communications Room Teacher. .

I didn’t know about Down Syndrome Awareness Day, so thank you for teaching me about it. I love the idea of random acts of kindness as a way to celebrate and acknowledge the day.
