What a beautiful post…
I am part of the same group with a beautiful 2.5yr old son, Samuel, who was born with Down Syndrome.
I was hurriedly reading a couple of posts here and there and you made me stop and re-read your words.

Thank you.
I look forward to reading more.

I, too, met Teresa and Samuel at Primary's. She is an amazing woman and this story still just brings tears to my eyes whenever I read it. Teresa will be an amazing addition to this blog. She is such a proactive mom and is a great example of true love. Great job! I am so happy to have been led to this site!

Cassie, thank you sooooo much for sharing this profoundly moving post.

I cannot even begin to imagine anything that you have been through. But I thank you so much for sharing with us so that we can all learn from your story.

I love what you say here:

"I am grateful to know that this other world exists. For it is this world that has taught me to appreciate every miracle of life – from the miracle of breathing to the miracle of hearing your child speak your name."

I think that is the exact purpose of "5 Minutes for Special Needs". To share these important stories that the entire world can learn from that "elite group of parents".

Thank you so very much!!!
