Always remember, never forget!

☝️☝️☝️This is what life is all about ☝️☝️☝️

Everyone is BEAUTIFUL!!

I sat in Tim Horton’s with my daughter’s as I do often. Two ladies sitting near us started to stare and whisper. This is a pretty frequent occurrence for us you see; because my daughter Sophia was born with Down Syndrome. I sat there and watched these two women crane their necks to get a better look at her; completely oblivious to the fact that I was staring right back. Today it bothered me. It really bothered me.

Just then, a couple approached me, and I thought, “Oh great! More people who want to take a closer look!”

The man greeted Sophia with a high five and a handshake, and Sophia smiled and waved back. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, “I have a story I would really like to share with you. But I am afraid I wont get through it without choking up.” I gently encouraged him to share, because now I was curious. This interaction was not what I was expecting.

He told me that he had watched the news last night. There was an interview of a mother who had recently given birth to a child with a major disability. She was on the news defending her decision to keep her baby. She was defending her choice NOT to terminate despite her doctors encouraging her to do so. He said, “The point is, you never know a persons impact on the world. You can never know what a person is able to do unless you give them a chance.” He looked at me just before he turned to walk away and said, “You are a beautiful person. Your daughter is beautiful. Congratulations!”

I immediately started to cry. There I sat in the middle of a coffee shop crying into a paper napkin. That man was the first complete stranger to ever congratulate me on the birth of my daughter Sophia. He was the first complete stranger to recognize her WORTH. Her VALUE. Her BEAUTY.

In a world where my daughter’s life is whispered about, where she is stared at, this man saw her IMPORTANCE.

I will be thankful if you will Like & Share my daughter's photo for awareness. ❤

To all who's this will reading,

Due to circumstances i will unfollow a bunch of people, some because they not respond on a polite message, others because there seems to be no connection anymore for God nows what reason.

My health problems are an other reason.

I wish you all the best in life: good health, love and respect.

Vincent.

If you consider yourself body positive,

please support bodies even if they fall outside of your preferences

As the government is trying to figure out how to ease back in to a new normal, please remember:

🛑 Some people don’t agree with the country opening.... that’s okay. Be kind.

🏡 Some people are still planning to stay home.... that’s okay. Be kind.

🦠 Some are still scared of getting the virus and a second wave happening....that’s okay. Be kind.

❤️ The point is, everyone has different viewpoints/feelings and that’s okay. Be kind.

We each have a different story. If you need to stay home, stay home. But be kind .

If you need to go out, just respect others when in public and be kind!

Don’t judge fellow humans because you’re not in their story. We all are in different mental states than we were months ago. So remember, be kind. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
