Why I wrote The Trials and Triumphs of Down Syndrome ©

To make a difference in the lives of my sons, my family’s life, and families in similar situations and for those that find their lives being marginalized because they have a developmental disability. 

Those who cannot tell what they desire or expect, still sigh and struggle with indefinite thoughts and vast wishes.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
 

Imagine for just a few moments that you are unable to speak or communicate your dreams and desires nor your thoughts and feelings; this is the life my sons live every day. 

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
 

Those currently on the ‘wait list’ for services in the state of

Colorado may spend their entire adult lives ‘waiting’, and if the waiting list is not enough the next hurdle is ‘available funding’. Imagine again that you or your child has waited years for a service that can teach you a job skill and when that service becomes available . . . it suddenly becomes victim to a budget cut.  

I believe there are good if not great organizations through out this world that have tremendous talent working or volunteering for them right now, but they need help financially to continue to grow and touch more lives and I believe that I can support this financial need, in writing; that’s why I wrote my book. 

But I cannot do this by myself, I need and want your help; if you’ve read my book, please tell others about it or if you haven’t, would you please consider it? Please tell your friends about me and my ‘mission’ tell them of this blog or my website or ask them to become fans of Kyle and Hunter on Facebook.  

I value your time and your friendship, thanks for reading. 

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
