On this day, five years ago, we were given a 1:2 'RISK' that our unborn baby was going to be born with Down syndrome.
Tonight our beautiful 4 and a half year old daughter attended her first dance at Kindergarten.
It's hard not to feel immense pride and yet sadness on this day.
It's a bittersweet memory of all the stereotypes and misconceptions about Down syndrome that I once used to hold, and now I try and speak up about via her page. custom bridesmaid wears by handmade

She was no RISK 5 years ago, just as she is no RISK today. The only risk we had tonight was that a Taylor Swift song might not be played!

Although it's a but hard to see here's a glimpse of Josee tonight at her dance.

I hope our girl has brings you HOPE when you feel like you have none.
