I saw this banner at the Philadelphia Zoo a couple of weeks ago. We were there for Down Syndrome Awareness Day. Now I know that the zoo has a whole Seuss and Lorax theme going on, which is probably why the banner is there. But for me, the banner says more then that. The banner perfectly describes what needs to happen in society in order for society to be a better place where people like my son are welcome and included.

I’ve said it before but it bears repeating. October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month. Every day is Down Syndrome Awareness Day for me. I love my son and will never give up fighting to be sure he is the happiest and best person he can be, and a part of society, along with others.
I love you baby! You are beautiful!
