Dear Future Mommy and Daddy...a trisomy 21 love letter






Dear mommy and daddy, 

I know that you are preparing to meet me soon, as God is putting the finishing touches on me in His perfect plan.  I am so eager to meet you, and look into your eyes for the first time. And getting ready for my arrival, I know you've been making the nursery just right, and reading all about my extra special chromosome, and how to care for me. And I understand that when you read about all of the what-ifs, and the range of possibilities, it may evoke some fear.  But please mommy and daddy, trust me when I tell you that you are going to fall in love with me the very first time you hold me. Please mommy and daddy, trust me when I tell you that you are going to be surprised and amazed by my accomplishments, every day of my life. And please mommy and daddy, trust me when I tell you that you are going to be an amazing mommy and daddy to me, and you are going to grow and change yourselves, in ways that you never thought were possible. Please remember never to compare me to other children, but only celebrate each of my milestones with me. You are going to be surprised to see perfection in me, just the way I was created. I promise I will bring you smiles. And I promise that your heart will grow not only for me, but even for other special children around me. As I grow, you are going to grow right along with me. You are going to grow into an advocate, teacher, nurse, friend, organizer, cheerleader, and the best mommy and daddy I could have ever have hoped for.  Just remember that I am a gift. The perfect gift. 




Love,
your precious baby
