Each year on the anniversary of Faith’s Birth I usually post a nice poem, something cheerful and of course a Happy Birthday.  In the past we have also openly celebrated her birthday with a big party, cupcakes, balloons and sometime fireworks.

Well time does not heal all wounds and quite frankly as the years have progressed the weeks leading up to the anniversary of her death and her birthday have become increasingly difficult, at least for me.

I quantified the time involved, from the time we were gifted with her birth until the time she was stolen away from us. She shared her life with us for 3,123 days.  She was taken away from us 2,723 days ago as of today, her 16^th birthday.  She has almost been away from us for as long as she was with us.

I wish I could be happier today, but it’s reality. Happy Birthday in heaven Faith.

Today is World Down Syndrome Day. Let’s recognize all the wonderful things those with DS bring to our lives and our world.
