A Letter to Parents who received a Down Syndrome Diagnosis

Dear Parent,

It’s okay to be frightened, cry & grieve.

Just know that this unexpected journey will change your life for the better… if you let it.

When we first received the news I remember thinking how this diagnosis would change our lives for the worse.

However in just 3 short years our son has made me a more understanding, compassionate, patient & so many more traits I never knew I was lacking.

Luca has given me a purpose, but only because I released my control and let it be.

I could have stayed in the mentality of “why me” and “what ifs”, but I didn’t want too.

Instead I embraced our new life and his diagnosis & it has blessed our family💙💛
