Dear U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers,
I read recently
that your new baby has been diagnosed with Down syndrome. Believe me, I
can completely relate; my son Eric is now three and it wasn't long ago
that I began the same journey of grief and acceptance that you are
beginning. (This is him in the photo; isn't he beautiful?) I have a few
words of advice for you.
First, don't listen to anyone else.
That's right, not even me. Only you know best what's right for your
child. There are plenty of "expert" out there who will be more than
happy to tell you what your son Cole's life will look like. Don't
believe them. Right now, his possibilities are endless. Know that,
truly believe that, and they will be so.
