Brook met a new friend

[Googsmom aka Jennifer]

So Brook and I are at work this am and i'm standing in the office doing paperwork and I see a young man walking w/ his parents. The lurker in me noticed that he was an angel just like Brook I had to take a double look just to make sure before I made a total fool out of myself. Yes indeed he did have Ds. I grabbed Brooker from out in front of the Signing Time and we went to the parking lot to meet him. Before I even got to their car to say hi, he came over and gave Brook and I a big hug ;D I said to his parents "You have an angel just like me ;D " They replied w/ "Well, look at that, we sure do!!" We talked for a long while and their son is 23 and does sooooo many things. I was very impressed!! Of corse they thought Brooker was just to cute. They are from Wisconsin.

I just had to share as this was the first time sence I had Brook we have met IRL someone just like her who was older. It was a wonderful meeting!! Brook gave him a big huggie and a kiss on the cheek and off they went for breakfast. Wonderful family!!!!

I love how you used the angel comment. That is a great icebreaker. I usually don't know what to say, so never say anything.
Glad to hear brook took well to the young man and vice versa.

That's really Cool I'm glad you got a good response from him and his parents,
I've seen a couple of families before, and also a young man who works in my local
supermarket. I haven't been brave enough to speak though, just smiled and
moved on hoping they would notice William, LOL

I might try the angel thing next time though

How fun I bet it was to meet him and his family. I love that he gaveher a big hug and she was obviously very comfortable with him from the start!
Angels for sure!!!!

that's so sweet! Isn't it great to meet new people

[Chris too]

Cool! I love it that he went right up to Brook! That has never happened to us, though we've seen many young adults with Ds, and have met lots of older kids.

Yay, yay, yay. I am so glad you had a great experience. I one time approached someone right after my precious love was born and got a very cold shoulder. We are all on the journey together. Bless that young man and your beautiful Brook.
