Part 3 of 3 of this Trilogy [important part of this series]

Part3 of 3 of Seed Of Individualiity.

I needed to apply this, becuase of how proud - how stubburn I am, and how strong

I am to not allow this to get under my skin. This I believe is in everyone here

and world-wide. Many of you know that I have MDS, and I have a son. A lot of

Doctors are in disbielef that any one with MDS to have a child. And my child

today is 3!! Ronin Morton, is 3 years old as of 1:28 this morning!!!

Within being proud of him, I had a small arguement. someone, and within this

arguement I was called a " retard " and - " Mentaly retarded " by this person his

mother; for my troubles. Let me give you a heads up; these's words can't hurt

me. And it applies to my lesson for one main, and very important point!

Strength.

Know one can avoid the stereo-types for to long. Either parent, or child. It's

always going to be there. I've personally heard it all! And as a parent who has

Mosaic Down Syndrome, I stand for my son, and all people with this. Know one can

hurt me, know one can hurt you... unless you allow them too! You are a parent,

you are an individual. And the biggest Seed you can give your self is your

strength for your child and what them grow to be just as, if not stronger than

you are.

Have an awesome weekend everyone!!
