This morning, as the sun gently spilled its golden rays through the window, my heart swelled with warmth and pride as I watched my daughter Gaia, a beacon of joy with Down syndrome, communicate her needs with grace and tenacity. With her bright eyes filled with determination, she raised her delicate hands and signed, "food" and "water," transcending the limitations that the world had imposed upon her.

In that beautiful moment, her silent yet powerful language spoke volumes. It was a testament to her indomitable spirit and the power of love and understanding. Through her gestures, she conveyed a profound message, a message of her desire to nourish herself, to quench her thirst, and to be an active participant in her own life.

As I stood witness to this remarkable exchange, I felt an overwhelming surge of gratitude. Gratitude for the journey we had embarked on together, where patience and compassion had become our guiding stars. Gratitude for the extraordinary lessons she had taught me about resilience, acceptance, and the boundless depths of human potential.

In that ordinary yet extraordinary moment, my daughter had taught me that words need not always be spoken to be heard, that love transcends the barriers of conventionality, and that every person, regardless of their abilities, possesses an innate ability to express themselves and connect with the world.

Today, as I reflect on that simple yet profound encounter, I am reminded that our differences are not to be feared or stigmatized, but rather celebrated and cherished. For it is within those differences that we find the true essence of humanity and the power of communication that reaches far beyond the spoken word.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that my husband and I would have three healthy and beautiful children; that our middle child would be born with Down syndrome; and that I would fall in love with and eventually work for a non-profit organization that celebrates babies with Down syndro

Because it's Thanksgiving today, let me just say THANK YOU Senators, Congressmen and Partylists for the guarantee letter assistance as well as DSWD QC and to my friends and family for the monetary donations and prayers. Maraming salamat po!

Thank you po sa mga doctors ni baby at mga anaesthesiologists!
Kay Dra. Balderas na pedia cardio ni baby na always present, kay Pretty and bait na si Dra. Causapin, Dra. Carlos, Dra. Jacildo, Dr. Ong and sa lahat po ng fellow and nurses ni baby super thank you. Heart Warriors of the Philippines, Inc. and Lil' Brave Hearts we're grateful to be part of the group. ❤️🙏

From open heart surgery ni baby last year until now -- (Gaia's cardiac catheterization) you've been there to support us, YOU deserve an endless thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Our fight is not over, so we ask you to please continue praying for baby Gaia. 🙏

Her AVSD Repair and cardiac catheterization procedures went well, but she's diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension ( high blood pressure affecting the lungs and heart) - it's a rare and incurable disease and not many know about it so please help us pray for her. MIRACLES happen, nothing is impossible with GOD! 🙏💪

Luke 1:37: “For nothing will be impossible with God.”
