Toddler Cyberbullied Oh gosh, why is the internet such a mean place? As the mother of child who would have grown up looking non-traditional, had she been given the chance to live, this really smarts. And really, her daughter is totally cute! I often worry about thing I put out on the internet- I know I”m taking a risk, but it’s important for me to share my daughter. Yes, people have freedom of speech. But dont people have the moral obligation to be kind too?
Kissing skeletons: love has no labels On a more upbeat note, some happiness is going around the internet right now- and here’s the story behind it. Love the Down Syndrome feature
One Day For those of you with kids, who have experienced loss… oh my this is a simple, powerful portrait of what I imagine it must be like.
You need a new doctor- a nice reminder as a health care professional, myself, that our words can hurt. I cringe reading these too. I hope I am never featured. I do recognize that sometimes things we say can be misinterpreted and sometimes it’s just a lack of training, knowing what to say. We’ve all experienced people like that in the babyloss world. But some of these- geez.
Thanks so much for sharing your great recommendations!
thanks!
That first link – I was also horrified, but my initial reaction was also – “this little girl is so cute! I don’t understand what people think is odd-looking about her? I don’t see it…”
right?? people are crazy! I heard on a newscast that kids are genetically supposed to be cute for the first like 6 years, and here’s a perfect example of one who is not “genetically typical” like my mabel would have been, but yet is still adorable!
