Day 2 of thanksgiving

Today I am thankful for my little sister Kaylee who has Down Syndrome. She has been such a blessing in my life. She has taught me patience, compassion, and understanding for others. Kaylee is 20 and does not speak in complete sentences or say coherent words. For a long time she called me didi and now likes to call me sister. She still needs help performing everyday activities and will remain dependent on my parents for as long as they are able and then it will fall to me. Despite all of these challenges, she is a happy, funny girl who loves to laugh and listen to music. I am so thankful to have her a part if my family and have learned so much from her.
