Gibbo,
I can only apologise for not seeing this post earlier.a child who is in want of a little extra care and love-is a very special child to behold,the love that they give back to us comes with serenity,hopefulness and contentment.
This I know ,my kinfolk had born into our family a downs syndrome baby,that baby grew up in our family and community,recieving love, cuddles and words of encouragement everyday for the 21 years of his life,and during those 21 years he returned every smile,laugh,and cuddle given him-tenfold.
remember to take care of each other,to enjoy every moment together
may God bless you

Steven`s teacher (who at that time was the only elder who could read)wrote this for his parents ,it was placed in Steven`s crib when he was born
Jesus,Lord above,
may this child be blessed as we are too,with love to suround him,loved ones to care for him,
when he should cry ,wipe his tears with a golden cloth so that those tears will become another sun ray
when he laughs,let us laugh with him
when he sleeps,Lord watch over him ,so that we may sleep too
we ask this of you dear Lord,so that we may continue to love and cherish this special gift from you.
