Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Di, sounds erie, but enlightening. I guess the saying goes, everything happens for a reason, and it really did. Wow, talk about something that makes you stop and think. Now a new mom has someone close for advise and support, and you just might have a new friend. Neat!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Di, What a wonderful story! Thank you for sharing it...and of course, I think there was no accident about it. Sent or led? Who knows? But I have seen instances again and again where our kids seem to have a sort of communication with each other that the rest of us do not share...

We are strolling up and he stops at one house, puts his hands on the fence and starts yelling at the house, " HEY! " . A little boy comes to the door and says hi. Then the mom comes and she had a strange look on her face. She steps onto the porch and asks how old he is. Then I notice she's pregnant. She says " We suspect my baby has DS " . I got chills. Why in the world had Nic picked this particular house to stop at? She asked allot of questions and I felt good being able to help her out.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2001 Report Share Posted September 19, 2001 Di, Hi. Something similiar happened like that to us. I was on my way to a Picnic and was parking my car. I saw a mom with a baby in a stroller walk past us. I thought the baby had DS. I jumped out of the car with and told Ralph to finish parking. He was looking at me like i'm nuts (which I am). So, amanda and i go up the block and the woman had taken the baby inside and came back out for the stroller. So she said, " Can I ask you a question about your daughter? " And I said, " Can I ask you a question about your son? " and we both started laughing!!! Since then, I had dinner at their house this past Saturday. We live very close to each other. She found a group of parents of DS babies that meet regularly, but we were glad we " ran " into each other and will be in touch. She will be going to the NYC Buddy Walk and hopefully has joined this list. Because they really want to go to the suaree too!!! ~ Mom to 11 DS and 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else could she have looked at a few college age girls and pick one and only one to hug after looking them over a couple of times in about 30 secs. She had no hestitation about who needed the hug, it was really wierd seeing how she did that. She doesn't hug strangers alot, but Just a yr ago she walked up to this lady in Sams while walking ahead of me and hugged her. :-( I assume she thought the lady needed a hug because she normally doesn't hug strangers. I think that was the second time she has done the hugging of a stranger like this, the first being at the college when she was about 6 or 7. So embarrasing to have to pull her back and appologize to the couple. LOL while trying to get to understand that we don't hug people we don't know. So I continue to watch her even now, just in case she picks someone..... ummm, well you know. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2001 Report Share Posted September 20, 2001 Breezy can find another person with Down syndrome in any crowd. She also has given this gift to her sister. She sees a person with Down syndrome and gets so excited, she comes to me and quietly says look Mom they are like Bri! But I have noticed too that people who have a family member, friend or acquittance can spot Breezy from across the way too and I have determined that these people have the gift; they can see the angel wings. I proved that to my sister one day at Disneyland. I told her you can tell who sees Breezy as special and who sees her as different. There is a world of difference in their response to her. Ain't life great? We get to watch these little things evolve in our life's and most people just live life :0) How boring can that be. haha.
