31 Days with My Brother

31 Days with My Brother with Down Syndrome by Katie M. Reid

Each day this month I will be writing about my brother, Brian, who has Down Syndrome, by linking up with The Nester.  I am excited to share my brother with you and hopefully inspire you to live life to the fullest; the good, hard, and everything in between.

I am delighted to have my parents and sisters share too as we tell why we love this swell guy. Having a brother with special needs inspired me to get a degree in special education—I taught for four years before my husband and I started having children.

This series is not heady, it’s from the heart—the place from which my brother lives. Brian has taught me a lot about life, loving and embracing the unexpected.  It is a gift to be able to share some of those things with you during this 31 Day Series.

MEET KATIE

Hi, I'm Katie (a Modern Martha, wife, and mom to five). I'm so glad you're here! Let's enjoy some cut-to-the-chase conversation over hot or iced tea, as we find grace in the unraveling of life (together). Let's exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom as we settle into our position as a doer and a daughter—created by a Loving Father.
