It’s 1:00 AM and I Miss Vergil
Protinus aerii mellis caelestia dona
exsequar. Hanc etiam, Maecenas, aspice partem.
Admiranda tibi levium spectacula rerum —
magnanimosque duces totiusque ordine gentis
mores et studia et populos et proelia dicam.
In tenui labor; at tenuis non gloria, si quem
numina laeva sinunt auditque vocatus Apollo.
- Georgicon Liber IV, 1-7.

This little girl right here is my cousin, Madison. She was born with down syndrome. Everyday after kindergarten she comes home crying because people say she looks weird or she should have no friends because she’s ugly. It so heart breaking to hear her talk about how she wants to be ‘pretty like the other girls.’ please reblog so I can show her that people think she’s beautiful the way she is.
Dear Madison,
One of my favorite campers at Girl Scout Camp is a girl just like you. She’s funny, witty, and always brings joy to everyone she’s around. She rides horseback competitively, swims, and she’s a darn good shot with a bow and arrow! She’s in fifth grade now, and every day I’m thankful I met her and got to be her counselor.
PS: She likes to poke people, and scratch my fellow counselor’s head like a puppy! She’s brilliant, and she’s a beautiful young woman!
Dear Madison,
You are absolutely gorgeous. And you will grow to be a thoughtful and powerful woman. Believe in yourself, and never let anyone tell you otherwise.
