NJ Self-Advocates On the R-Word

To kick off Down Syndrome Awareness Month I wanted to share this video made by a group of self-advocates from New Jersey. Who better to spread the message that, "it's not about being politically correct, it's about respect." than those who are most affected by the inappropriate use of the word(s) r*tard(ed).

Let the self-advocates speak for themselves; try telling them words don't matter or don't hurt.

Rest In Peace, Landon

A few days ago I posted about Landon, asking for prayers as his little body was full of tumors.

His mom posted that Landon passed away this morning ... comfortable and peaceful. As she said, "he is no longer bound to the body that kept him in pain for so long."

My heart is breaking for this family. Please keep them in your prayers as they adjust to life without their young son.
