I have only met you a few times in person,
But I feel like I know you.
I see your parents’ Facebook posts.
The pictures
The videos
The fun
I see the beautiful support system you have.
Mom and Dad
Brothers
Sister
Grandparents
Aunts
Uncles
Cousins
Friends
All love you!
Your laughter makes me smile.
Your energy lifts my spirits.
Your enthusiasm for life inspires me!
Today is your day.
3-2-1
Today is the day you can educate us and make us aware.
Your gene structure may be slightly different,
But we are all the same.
We laugh.
We cry.
We sing.
We dance.
We jump for joy.
We eat oatmeal and pancakes, your favorite!
We love.
We matter.
Thank you for brightening my days.
Thank you for helping me understand.
Thank you for making a difference!
During March, I am blogging daily as a part of the Slice of Life Story Challenge! More Slice of Life posts can be found on Two Writing Teachers.
So lovely! I hope the parents read this with their child.
Thank you, Priscilla. Yes, the post has been shared with the parents and child!

Your poem is a lovely tribute and a reminder that we are all the same where it matters most.
Thanks, Kay. This little guy reminds me how much we are the same all the time!
