Yeah, I’m Asking a Lot

We want our son included.

We want him to have the independence he craves.

We want support to make that inclusion and independence possible.

We want those in supporting roles to not restrict his abilities.

We realize that all of this is a challenge.
We want it done anyway.

We want our community to acknowledge Down syndrome and the individuals experiencing it.

We want all of this done with reverence and consideration.

We appreciate hearing that improvements need to be made when it comes to awareness, acceptance, and respect for those with Down syndrome.

We are frustrated to see that proverbial ball dropped time and time again.

We realize that all of this is a challenge.
We want it done anyway.

We want to be heard without arguments or tired excuses.

We want to be partners, and not ruffle feathers.

We will continue to work, and work, and work.

We will persist, because he is worth it.

We realize that all of this is a challenge.
We want it done anyway.
