The Micah Series 1/5
The best moments of my life are on my quad, because it's fun, and I love the speed. It's super fast, and I like to drive and do tricks like my brothers. When I'm on my quad I feel happy and like Im on a adventure. Im good at driving my quad, and I like the wind blowing in my face. I ride my quad 3-5 days a week in my Grandma and Grandpa's field. It's an acre field and I go round and round. The quad I have now is a big quad and friends, family and strangers from all over donated to buy me the quad of my dreams... the green machine. Its a real quad, and I'm a better driver than my big brothers.
The Micah Series 3/5: Robert/Dad
When my wife told me she was pregnant with our fourth child, I thought, 'Yes! Another kid to coach in softball, soccer, or baseball. Heck, we were on our way to having our own team!' Then our son Micah was born with Down syndrome and the doctor began to tell us all the ways he would be limited. While I didn’t feel sad about his diagnosis, I did begin to wonder if I’d ever get to coach him after all.
We invite YOU to participate by sharing a story about Down syndrome in your life.
A moment, if you will, in which Down syndrome impacted you greatly or maybe simply made you smile. Your story, along with a portrait of you (if you have Down syndrome) or a portrait with your loved one with Down syndrome. It is our hope that these stories will be read by just the right person at just the right time creating the narrative shifting impact this world needs.
