She has an amazing blog about her daughter who has Down Syndrome. Alex has brought joy and hope to me for my Elise on a "post-ly" basis...I would say daily, but sometimes I go check and see if there is a new post, and *SNIFF* there isn't one...
The Ordinary Life of an Extraordinary Girl
The blog does, happily, have its own Facebook page, on which Gary relates conversations she has with Alex that are pithy and awesome, that haven't made it to the blog for one reason or another: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Ordinary-Life-of-an-Extraordinary-Girl/165047126851472
Also, she wrote a book that I have bragged on before HERE, that you can purchase HERE.
Today, I want to send you to this post in particular:

This has been my favorite post in a while, because it speaks to what we ALL want for our kids, and addresses a prejudice that limits so many kids' futures, when in fact, you *can* give your child the world by opening a door to their possibilities!!
What a great post :)
