About the most capable person I know~~~

My five year old grand daughter was born with Down Syndrome,

but that hasn’t put a damper on her life.

From infancy, she has always seemed to have a smile

on her face and a giggle ready to erupt.

Come close to her,

and she has her arms wrapped

tightly about your neck

and a big kiss planted on your cheek.

She is always exploring,

climbing over any and all obstacles

in her path…

always trying to figure out how things work

which sometimes gets her

into a bit of trouble.

Her latest endeavor

is horse- back riding( under supervision of course).

She sits proudly in the saddle,

as her horse is led around the arena.

With each step her horse takes,

she bounces a bit in the saddle,

causing a big smile to form

and a loud giggle to be heard.

My little cowgirl!

Her love of life lights up a room,

her sense of discovery encourages

that trait in others.

Her “never give up” attitude is inspiring.

Her infectious smile warms anyone’s heart.

I am 75, she is 5,

but there is much I can learn of life

by simply watching her grow and develop.

From the moment she came into this world,

she was and is the greatest gift

a grandmother could be given.

I’m so proud to be her Grandma!
