Hope
As I post for the first time, Jared's bus has just pulled away, through the dark, northeastern air, leaving puffs of steam in its wake. Jar waits out their each morning, bookbag in one hand, lunch pail in the other, wrestling pack on his back. He is a junior in high school, already talking about being a senior, then a super senior, before heading off to college. I think I will design this blog with the end in mind, so that young mothers and fathers who have just been told that their son or daughter has Down Syndrome will see the hope that we now feel as the yellow bus pulls away.

Randi, I'm so happy to have found your blog. You may remember that my 5 year old daughter was born with bit of a physical challenge. The feelings you express here about fear and hope, huddling close and learning to let go are so very similar to those we go through as well. Thank you for writing and sharing your experiences. All the best Randi!
