Everybody looooves to see photos of Meg because your pics tell positive stories, Kim.<br /><br />I think the old myths, the old fears through ignorance about children with DS still linger, and parents-to-be are afraid.<br /><br />I used to do a lot of tv programmes about children with DS, and one editor told me I should stop, or I will end up with a child with DS. Good grief!<br /><br />neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-38086189451691403332016-10-18T15:52:33.186+01:002016-10-18T15:52:33.186+01:00Just seeing that girl's infectious grin always...Just seeing that girl's infectious grin always makes me happy. I'm glad to hear she's spreading cheer wherever she goes. And that should be everyone's goal in life: to help others through love and caring. <br /><br />Way to go Dad!

I know just what she means. In Minehead we are lucky enough to have Fox's establishment http://hotelfoxes.co.uk/ We had my mother's 90th Birthday Party there and as always<br />there was such a happy atmosphere. The world is a better place thanks to special human beings like Meg.

I have worked in various situations with all sorts of people with learning disabilities and those who gave me the most joy were invariably those with Downs Syndrome. They taught me a lot about perspective and what's really important in life and the world is so much richer with them in it.<br />krisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12481182574909696640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-6838967616346120452016-10-13T20:42:50.923+01:002016-10-13T20:42:50.923+01:00How wonderful to have such a happy child... who ac...How wonderful to have such a happy child... who actually spreads warmth and happiness to others.<br /><br />I read your blog with interest and was astounded to hear how many people abort a DS foetus - shameful indeed.<br /><br />Love sent to you and your family .... may much happiness continue xJill Dianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989862336091598651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-58063280288351534862016-10-13T18:44:15.289+01:002016-10-13T18:44:15.289+01:00What a lovely thoughtful piece & I agree with ...What a lovely thoughtful piece & I agree with it all.
