Nella

I came across this blog post back in December. I read the whole thing, every word, and totally cried.

"Love me. Love me. I'm not what you expected, but oh, please love me."

I remembered asking my Dad when I was just a little girl trying to figure out the world around me, "Daddy, if I had Down Syndrome, would you still love me the same amount?"

I remembered him saying, "No, I'd love you more."

"Why, Dad?"

"Because the world might love you a little less."

And I totally cried some more.

I don't mean to be bossy, but go read Kelle and Nella's story. You really should.
