I haven't shared much I have gotten in the form of feedback from the GIFTS book on my site. Most is here....
But personally I have received some emails and even a phone call as a result of my chapter in GIFTS. I wanted to share one email from this week. I am so thankful GIFTS is doing its intended work!
Hi, Jan -
My husband and I live in Fort Worth, Texas, and have two children. (name deleted)
(our little guy with Down syndrome) will be 3 this summer and (name deleted) is 8
months old. A few weeks ago a friend gave us a copy of Gifts. As I thumbed
through it adoring all the pictures in there, I have to admit that Nash's
stuck out to me the most - so cute! I began scanning your entry and noticed
the connections... I attended IU in Bloomington and most of my immediate
family still lives in the Indianapolis area. I checked out your website and
enjoyed seeing all the pictures of Nash and all the work you and your
husband do with the IDSF and other groups. Thanks for sharing your story.

Haven't visited in awhile. :) Not here anyhow. I love Nash's self portraits and the slide looks way too cool! :) LOVE YOU!

Wonderful Jan :) I think Gifts is going to be an amazing resource for parents of children w/ds :)
And - Nash is just adorable - and a great self-advocate :) I can't wait to see what he tells people about ds when he grows up :)
By then - hopefully there will be a Gifts book written by our kids :)
