Our Jamie graduated from Bay High School, Bay Village, Ohio, in June.
I say “Our Jamie” because so many have helped shape our little man. Jamie, in turn, has touched all of us in ways few can accomplish with a mere 46 chromosomes.
Below is a slideshow of photos that capture Jamie’s essence and a few of the countless folks to be forever changed by his huge hugs and contagious cackle.
All of us should strive to be more like Jamie at work and at home. Jamie views his extra chromosome as a superhero trait, and he’s right.
For Jamie, life’s always been about what’s truly important: people — and sharing love and laughter.

Great story! Nice to see that our special people are being integrated into society. They show nothing but true love of life, as we all should show each other. Good Luck in the future Jamie! Thanks Marty
