An Afghan For Isaac W.
I frequently cruise the web, looking for articles on individuals with Down syndrome and their families. On one such day, I came across an article about Isaac Watson on the Einstein Syndrome website. The article explained how Isaac became a member of his family and announced their loss when Isaac went to meet Jesus.
I immediately contacted the family and offered to send them a memorial afghan. Barbara, Isaac's mother, accepted my offer. Her goal is to share the afghan with a new member of the Down syndrome community when the time presents itself. For now, they are simply holding onto a piece of love from afar.
A few days ago, his family celebrated his ninth birthday, the first since they lost Isaac. His mother sent me the following pictures with the afghan.

We were able to share the blanket with Noah's family. Noah had DS and went to heaven just about a month after his birth. We are sharing the blanket on the occasion of Noah's second heaven anniversary. May it be a sweet comfort to them as they remember their precious son and keep it to share with their newly expected sibling being adopted from India or as they pass it on.
Barbara, thank you for keeping me up to date on your son's afghan. I know you were waiting for God to show you where it was most needed. Noah's family is blessed! Please feel free to let them know I would love to share their story as well, if they would like. Your family is such an awesome testiment!
