Marquito and his grandpa Nonno Ricardo

My father is a great grandfather. He's a wonderful grandfather.
Marquita's grandfather had a particularly important influence on his life, even though we didn't visit him often,  because he lives out of the country.

The most important thing my father taught me was that the most noble way to use your skills, intellect and energy is to defend the marginalized against those with the greatest power.

What advice do I tell my grandson? I listen to him

 There is no grandfather who does not adore his grandson. They are enjoyed.

My childhood memories of my father is wonderful. Marquito's grandfather has a spirited, humorous personality.

There are no walls that you and I cannot jump. Who said it would be easy to live with your disabilities ?….Who…?

The boy who is going to make a great man must not make up his mind merely to overcome a thousand obstacles, but to win in spite of a thousand repulses and defeats.

Never be afraid to offer a smile; sure the risk is that a few foolish people may misinterpret my kindness as weakness, but the sweet reward is that as you make new friends and encourage others, the foolish will learn the error of their ways because you did at least show them your teeth.

Replace the word can’t with can. Know that you can, believe that you can, and know with all of your heart that you will. You will succeed in spite of any obstacles that may try to hinder you! There’s so much power in having a positive attitude, positive mindset, and positive outlook.

It was so risky and so scary, and yet at the same time, so beautiful. Maybe the truth was, it shouldn't be easy to be amazing. Then everything would be. It's the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth. When something is difficult to come by, you'll do that much more to make sure it's even harder -if not impossible- to lose

Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.

Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.

One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity.

If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.

Smile No Matter What - Monday Motivation Autism & Down Syndrome

Life isn't about love stories, wars and glory. Life is about you, and who you want to be. The only dream that will come true, is who you are.

Marquito these last 4 days, you taught me to be strong as an oak.

My best gift on Mother's Day is your smile and your strength to succeed despite all. 

You make the sun shine on a cloudy day. When I'm sick you kiss the pain away. Your tender voice took away my fears, your hand that wiped away my tears. The love you give so honest and pure, keeping me forever safe and secure. You make flowers bloom in the spring, it was you who fixed my broken wing. SON because of you I now know love, my guardian angel from above. I Love you sunshine.

Life isn't about love stories, wars and glory. Life is about you, and who you want to be. The only dream that will come true, is who you are.

Laugh hard, smile no matter what youre going through, give everyone a second chance, and dont ever forget...rules were meant to be broken....life is too short to be anything but happy! 

Breaking down stereotypes Autism and Down Syndrome

We must help our children develop vocational or career skills and have a happy family life

Support is very important and necessary to live a life worth living. It is clear that most people with disabilities have a hard time surviving daily, but with all our affection and understanding they can overcome.
