I just wanted to show off something I spent too many hours creating on Photoshop. I asked the other parents of kids with Koolen de Vries Syndrome, what words would be the tools they would have in their survival kits. Then I created each one, then put them all together for the group's cover banner. This is what I made. It was fun, and i'm really pleased with it!

Kudos to you. I think this is wonderful! This shows the world that our folks who are challenged in one way or another not only have value but are blessings to the world.

Wow, you have a blend of the practical, emotional, and spiritual. Something that serves both body and soul...as we were created. Two of my daughters are dealing with severely challenged children, and I can see how each of the words you have written apply to the days of their week. Very well done!!

Thank you. The words were given to me by the parents - so that really makes sense. I have taken off Endurance and replaced it with Gratitude because one parent really wanted it added! Wow, two grandchildren with super challenges!

I am so touched by each of these sentiments all the way down to my soul. Aren't these the tools we want for all of our children/grandchildren, no matter their abilities? This is just a beautiful banner and it was worth all of your hard work.

Thank you. I think we need to add Laughter and Gratitude, but I only had so much space!

Beautiful work. I'm wondering, how big is this banner. Where is it going? Did you print this on your regular printer? Thanks so much, for sharing. Carole

It is just a jpg banner that probably will never be printed. It is for the top of the facebook page for the Koolen De Vries Syndrome group. My son, Ben, who is 25 years old has this syndrome, so I am a part of this group. I asked the parents to give me some words that they would consider tools in their survival toolboxes, and made this banner from what they told me. Aren't they awesome!

I Googled the syndrome and became educated. Thank you for sharing how these parents view their children. True, true love. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for doing that! This is one of the syndromes my son has. The kids have lots of challenges, and are really friendly and sweet.
