Sixteen years ago I met my best friend, together, he and I stepped into an unknown world of a boy with Down syndrome.

World meet Chaim: The biggest blessing in my life. His journey is a journey like no other, in a world filled with judgement and difficulties, but he is a rockstar.

He inspires me to love, to accept, to appreciate, and to be a better person. He teaches me to reach for the stars, to try again when I fall, and to take advantage of the life I am living.

Despite his Down Syndrome, there’s never a dull moment in Chaim’s life, he’s always making people laugh and smile. He dreams big and makes it a reality. There is no one quite like him, and I would not have asked for a better brother.
