A Magic Wand
NO place for me to say HOW FULL OF CRAP YOU ARE.
So I will say it here.
Magic wand..... HONESTLY you couldn't possibly understand why a parent wouldn't use it to turn their child with Down syndrome into a typical child.
I WOULDN'T. Kaden is NOT seperate from Down syndrome. It is in every cell of his body. It makes his laugh deeper and fuller, It enhances his hugs and his spirit. He is a stop and smell the roses little man in a rush rush world of over achievers.
I wish to be more like Kaden every day of my life. I WISH that I could let the small stuff go and only FEEL how good it feels to be alive. How a silky blanket feels rubbed against my face the joy of breathing in and out. WHO even thinks about how wonderful those things FEEL. Kaden does. HE IS JOY, It is on that extra chromosome.
I would not change a thing about my son because changing anything would make him a DIFFERENT CHILD and I DO Not want a DIFFERENT child. (SURELY YA'LL TERMERS can relate to that!!) I love my child without conditions. I am not STUCK in my life. I chose this life and I would chose it time and time and time again.
You say it is HEARTBREAKING that I wouldn't change my child. Anyone that can find heartbreak in my life will have to look elsewhere. LOOK at my dead babies! You will find heartbreak there but don't look at Kaden. Kaden is the smile of my heart. He is Joy beyond measure. Down syndrome IS NOT something that subtracts from my child DUHHHHHH I mean he has EXTRA! Extra bits of his heart and his soul. Extra peices in every part. His capacity to give and receive love. MY child is ENHANCED and NO way in this world would I want to make him LESS than what he is.
I have no choice but to play the hand I am dealt. YES I played it and YES I WON. I got my child and joy beyond measure while the ones that folded went away empty handed. I WON! I am not grieving every day of my life for a child that I didn't have to grieve for. I do not have to pass the emotional weight on to my children that if something is wrong with them that I very well might have killed them. HOPE they aren't seriously injured in the future. You teach your children CONDITIONAL love. YOU say HEY if I hadn't killed your brother YOU wouldn't be here. What a legacy to pass on!!
Can you blame me that I just can't understand THAT!
So I will say it here.

Radonna: I would love to read the full Boston Globe article but the link you list does not work. Can you check it and repost one that does?
