PKS
I recently got an email from a woman named Gretchen Peters. She saw my "10 things" post and emailed me to learn more about my sister, Lauren (or Lolly, as I like to call her). Gretchen has a 5-year-old son, Simon, who also has Pallister-Killian Syndrome. She has helped put together a non-profit organization for families of PKS children, called PKS Kids. What an incredible resource the internet can be!

Since the syndrome is so very rare I doubt anyone who reads this blog knows anyone affected by PKS, but if you do, I would recommend checking out this website. And if any of you have family or friends affected by any mental handicap I would love to hear your story!

awww, what a sweet video on the site. such a nice way for people to connect. wonderful. i work with preschoolers with special needs and become very close to and sometimes completely attached like family to my students/parents. i have never heard of pks and was shocked by how rare it is. i help with various disabilities with a large number of my caseload on the autism spectrum. i love my rewarding job though sometimes it's really tough. thanks for this lovely post. love the photo.
Two of my favorite people! You know my story of being friends with your sister. It's been a wonderful thing.
I hope you are having a fantastic time in Paris.
