Over the last 4 years I have collected MANY poems and stories about Down syndrome and special needs in general. Since a lot of my readers have kids with special needs, I thought I would post one poem or story every Monday. Chances are you'll find one you've never heard along the way!
I DREAMED
by Amy W. Opalk
I dreamed he'd be born beautiful and healthy.
He was.
I dreamed he'd tell me that he loves me.
He tells me every day.
I dreamed he'd be bright and funny.
He is - his humor is wonderful.
I dreamed he'd ride a bike, catch a ball and wrestle with his big brother.
He does and his brother loves it.
I dreamed he'd have big birthday parties with lots of friends and cake and presents.
He's had six.
I dreamed he'd one day get on a bus and go to kindergarten.
He did it yesterday - my heart full of love and my eyes full of tears.
I dreamed he'd make us proud.
He has and he's inspired us.
Dean has Down Syndrome.
I never dreamed that.

I love that one! It made me teary eyed ... I'm so emotional as we approach the big THIRD birthday!
ok i cried!!!
OK, this has absolutely nothing to do with this post, but I was scared my question would get lost in your email :)
In your about this blog section it says Kennedy was born in Fort Campbell, Tennessee. I know Campbell is considered in KY(thanks to building one!). So, does she have a TN birth certificate or a KY one? Just curious since the post literally sits on the state line. Is the hospital on the TN side?
Nothing to do with this post either but I was wondering what tracker you use to know how people get to your site from google searches etc. or wherever else :-). thanks!
OKay I searched tracker and found that you use site meter, is it the free version or paid? Also what do u click on under statistics to see the google searches etc. thanks!
