The documentary Monica and David on HBO moved me to tears. It is a film that everyone needs to see. It shows how love can go beyond what society approves to be normal. It also shows us that having a disability does not minimize what you can do.
Monica and David are a great inspiration of love, hope, joy, and compassion. Their love story causes you to reflect on the important things that make up a relationship versus the superficial things that sometimes breaks them up.
I have a cousin who has Down syndrome and I remember when my aunt had her she was 50 years old and was contemplating giving her up. However, she said as a young child I came into her room and told her not to give her baby away. Tawana brought so much joy to my aunt’s life until my aunt’s death. I am so glad that she was able to live long enough to know that she raised a beautiful baby girl no matter what others said.
Monica and David’s story should be an inspiration for those mothers’s deciding rather or not to keep their children who may have a birth defect. Their story shows that with love and hope, you can conquer anything and that your child is your gift no matter the circumstance and they can change lives.
So, if you have HBO on Demand check out the documentary Monica and David on HBO and let me know what you think!
