The Merry Makers

Not everyone reading this will realise that one of my son's had Down syndrome, he is one of the most amazing kids, he inspires me everyday to be a better person, he see's good in everyone, and loves life. BUT to the average person who has never lived or given birth to a child with Down syndrome all they will see is a kid with a disability, I think that is so sad, he is so much more than his disability, he is bright, smart, cheeky, happy, a joy to parent, challanging, inspiring and most of all I am so glad he is my son. Tonight on the ABC, Andrew Denton played a documentary on the Merry Makers, a group of amazing dancers that bring joy, hope and inspiration to everyone that see's them dance, they also happen to have disabilities, but this is not who they are, they are amazing dancers with more dedication and skill than most of us can dream of, check them out http://www.merrymakers.com.au/
And next time you see a person who appears to have a disability, remember they are not their disability, they are so much more!!!!
