My Son Adam's Philosophy

Adam’s Meaning of Life Plan – Top 60 Reasons

The following is a list that my son Adam made when he was 12 years old. Now for a normal child it would seem to be quite outstanding. For Adam, who has Down’s Syndrone it would seem extraordinary. If any know any Down’s people, and I really believe they are a people. They are a gift of love and constantly show this love even in adversity.

 I left most of his grammar just the way he wrote them. I did correct for spelling. 

Adam did eventually graduate from High School. He is quite the fellow and as of this publishing Adam is 33 years old. He continues to bring joy into our lives and when you read below he also grounds us when we need it.
