For those who don’t know, today is World Down Syndrome Day. I new friend wrote this wonderful tribute that I want to share with each of you. I hope you will share it with your friends.
I just read about Grace the other day, and as my son also has Down Syndrome, obviously this story hit me in the solar plexus - I cannot imagine the pain this family is feeling right now, but I want to reach out and express my profound admiration for their courage and nobility under such extreme circumstances.
And my deepest sympathy for their loss.
My son is 28, and like Grace, unvaccinated.
Why? Well, we all had this quite normal winter flu bug way back in late 2019, and as a former NHS Public Health Manager, I knew that we already had all the natural immunity we needed.
There is no evidence that this vaccine protects anyone: actually the more that time passes, the clearer it becomes that it is killing more people than it protects.
Her family did the right thing: morally, ethically, and medically.
I am NOT a believer, but there is merit in the book.
What Grace went through was premeditated murder, so very sad. Her father Scott is still mourning for her and he is making sure that she is not forgotten.
Yes, let the Lord have his vengeance on those that caused her death.
We have daily prayers for Grace's beautiful family and are so sorry for your loss. Yes, we have pictured the billboard and Scott continues to feature it ~ a brilliant effort and solemn reminder that what happened to Grace should be shouted from the rooftops so no one else suffers the same fate! May God continue to work so that others can be saved 🙏!
I'm a heathen Scot, I love a whisky, and I will also fight like crazy for human rights to life: our kids with DS are gifts to be cherished, and their value is infinite: this is one issue on which the Faithful and the Faithless can unite: all life is sacred and of equal worth.
Hi Rob the Scot, we love you, and for the record, you are a NON-HEATHEN by CARING for those with DS. God bless you and keep you fighting for human rights! Yes, all life is sacred an of equal worth and our children are so vulnerable and innocent; they just touch my heart in a special way.
Thanks. You deserve a decent 10 year old Islay malt for that kind support, and if you don't want it, I'll sink it on your behalf ;-)
As we say in Scotland: "We are all Jock Tamson's Bairns' - meaning we are all human and share the same pain, the same love, and the same brotherly and sisterly values.

What a beautiful saying! And I'll take you up on that malt! Is it only available in Scotland? And do you still have lambs everywhere?
Lambs are indeed a-gambolling the hills at the moment. And you can buy decent single origin Malt whisky anywhere in the world these days.
