Review #11 on Amazon.com From Long-time Friend


Two differently abled boys grew up together,...one with scoliosis and one with Down syndrome. Jeff's friend wrote about "Journey With Jeff" in the Amazon.com review: "This is an inspirational story about a family that I knew when I was growing up in New York state. Jeff was a friend of mine and was full of love and joy. He was one of the most happy people I have ever met even though he was born with severe challenges. This book chronicles my friend's life, his parents' struggles and joys, and the family's incredibly strong faith as they journeyed with Jeff through his special life. The book is written specifically for inspiration for caregivers of people with special needs, but the story is inspirational for all people. This is one of those books that you keep after you've finished reading and turn to it when life throws you a curve."~~~I was delighted to discover this eleventh review on the Amazon.com page! I invite everyone who has read "Journey With Jeff" to write a review to help others know this encouragement. Thank you!!

God Doesn't Make Mistakes

Discovery!!~~A video on You tube that celebrates the joy of a child with Down Syndrome! The video, "God Doesn't Make Mistakes" can be found on www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfuaNhXI1Ao. Why was Jeff born with D.S.? Why was his friend next to him on the stairs born prematurely? What made his older friend take them both under her young wing?!? I do not know; but what I do know is that all of us mothers were blessed more than we ever thought possible!
Doctors don't know it all -- they need to learn from us mothers! We need to stay on top of situations, and be a team with doctors, teachers, and other people in our special needs children's lives. No, God does not make mistakes!!
