Well Done...

Today's my Dad's birthday and he wrote an awesome blog that is very well said!!!

Happy Birthday Dad.  We all love you so much.  Thank you for continuing to be such a positive, loving light in Logan's life....he certainly adores his Grampy :)


“Well done is better than well said…”

One of my favorite quotes since I always enjoy stories about everyday people who do extraordinary things and in the process inspire us to accomplish more than we thought possible. 

Ever since Logan was born four and half years ago we became part of such a terrific community of families organized together as the Chesapeake Down Syndrome Parent Group. They are truly some of the most caring, genuine and sincere people you could ever imagine knowing. The CDSPG  organization was founded in the early 80’s by a group of parents who were determined to make a difference for their children. Over the years they’ve done an inspiring job providing their local membership with a regular series of informal grassroots educational and social forums to raise awareness in the community and provide direct family support.

So what does all this have to do with Logan and the 31/21 challenge? For Logan and all the other children with possibilities it seems that quite a number of people who are reading, writing and commenting on this blog are thinking about the road ahead. Everyone seems to have such a strong desire to work towards a brighter future of inclusion for these children. It won’t be easy getting there. It will take leadership. It will take every bit of your energy, your enthusiasm, and your willingness to get involved, speak up and be an advocate.

Congratulations and thanks to all of the families of the CDSPG who have inspired our family and have paved the way to get it done in our local community. I have great confidence that through your dedication we now have a stronger and bigger family that is now poised to continue to get it done and make a difference well into the future.
