October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and my long time friends Greg and Aaron Tornquist called the show on Sirius XM Family Talk 131 to discuss their journey. Aaron (41) has down syndrome, is a serious bowler, works, and is an Elvis Tribute Artist.   His father, Greg, has a lengthy music/performance history and his new project, Mississippi The Musical. (it just won "Best of the Fest" in the New York Musical Festival.  https://www.mississippithemusical.com/ Greg beautifully models a creative life as a caregiver and shares about his journey as a single dad with Aaron.  Also in the show, another Nashville writer , Lisa Dale Daniels, calls in to share her journey in caring for her famous songwriter mother ...and learning to carve out her own identity as a writer.  Writers Write ...Even While Caregiving. Especially while caregiving.  The show is the family caregiver outreach of Standing With Hope.
