I know that there is something that allows us to have the bond and communication we do, something strong and bigger than us both.

I thank the giver of life for the opportunity to be his grandfather.  I ask every day for more life to spend it with him.

Emiliano always wakes up with a smile which brings the joy of living the moment with him. He is my sunshine. Ever since he came into my life, he has been the greatest joy and blessing for me. I only ask my God to give me life to continue seeing my grandson Emiliano. He is the sun of my life, the one who came to give joy to my life.  I love him with all my heart.

I’m glad to say those thoughts and my emotions have changed. While I still question why Emiliano was born with Down syndrome, I would not change him one bit. I love how much happiness his presence brings to my heart. I love his tight warm hugs and his face when it lights up with joy whenever he sees me. Most importantly, I admire his fearlessness.
