Being goofy, as usual!
Warning: I'm about to get really mushy gushy on you but you should enjoy it!
On occasion when I say that I have a sister with down syndrome people apologize and tell me how sorry they are, which honestly just makes me laugh. Sorry? Why on earth should you be sorry it is easily one of the best blessing I've ever been given in my life.
Emy has contributed enormously to shaping the person that I am and the dynamics of my whole family. Among the great things she has taught me such as being patient (you need A LOT of patience with her), being responsible, being aware of how amazing my parents truly are, she has shown us how to live a life of perpetual innocence.
Emy's favorite person Jale.
She has been blessed with the ability to never see anything wrong in the world. Emy has never meant a bad person and she doesn't really understand that anyone can be a bad person. How amazing must it be to not judge anyone or have any ability to be jaded from the cruelty of the world. Emy loves everyone equally and whole heartedly and I think she has taught us how to do the same.
But, Emy wouldn't be the amazing person she is without my incredible parents. Honestly, and I'm not just saying this, my parents are the most generous, wonderful people in the whole world. They do so much and sacrifice so much for all of us. They couldn't have done a better job with Emy or the rest of us.
Okay, I'm done being all mushy now but truly I wouldn't be the person I am without Emy and I wouldn't even want to imagine what life would have been like without her. So have a great day and remember to never take for granted the blessing you are given no matter how they are packaged.
So I will leave you with the worlds cutest picture ever.
As always, stay classy
XOXO

I love this!! I love when I see people who recognize disability as just a difference instead of some awful problem that needs to be fixed. Your sister seems like an amazing person!
ReplyDeleteThank you Taylor, she really is incredible! And you are so right she's just different than me just you and I are different. They should be treated with the same kindest and respect as everyone else.
