Standing taller and stronger by standing with extraordinary souls on World Down Syndrome Day
This Sunday is World Down Syndrome Day, and Boyd shares some of the wonders and inspirations we learn by having people with Down Syndrome in our lives. As a society, we stand taller and we stand stronger when we stand with those who cannot stand for themselves. Our Down syndrome friends are fellow travelers with us along the road of life. While they may struggle with some of the daily tasks the rest of us take for granted – they possess skills and abilities we all would be wise to emulate. They may struggle with speech – but their capacity to love is endless and doesn’t require them to utter a word; they may have difficulty making decisions, but they never judge and have an amazing ability to accept everyone for who they are; they may strain to work or learn, yet they seem to be forever teaching us where about where simple joy is to be found and what it means to discover and cherish true happiness. ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions. Listen live Monday through Thursday from 11 am to noon at 1160 AM and 102.7 FM, online at KSLNewsradio.com, or on the app. Listen on-demand as a podcast on your favorite platform or web browser.
