3 key lessons my sister with Down syndrome taught me about life
Fox News
Here are three key lessons my sister with Down syndrome has taught me -- kindness, unconditional love and gratitude. They were her foundation to an optimistic life.
My sister Beth loved freely regardless of anybody’s behavior and treated everyone that way. It completely influences how open and forgiving I try to be to this day. Brendan P. Keegan serves as Chief Executive Officer [CEO] at Merchants Fleet and was recently named the world’s Most Innovative CEO by CEO World Awards®; Executive of the Year, silver winner by Best in Biz Awards; and a Stevie Awards® bronze winner by American Business Awards®. He has been involved with Merchants since 2009 — as a client, board member, and strategic advisor.
Beth didn’t discriminate with her be-a-helper attitude, either. When I was younger, she supported my love of sports by attending all my games. That was touching enough, and I appreciated having her there.
