Jonny is a Navigator who works with adults with additional needs and their families. He reflects on what people with learning disabilities and mental health challenges can teach us about peace. This is part of our series on the fruit of the Spirit (featuring artwork by Daniel White).
In 2021 my Uncle David (who also has Down Syndrome) was diagnosed with young-onset dementia and moved into a care home. Before long he could no longer recognise me or anyone else in his family. He was often confused and soon lost the ability to speak coherently. It felt as though the man I deeply loved was gone.
Jonny shares a childhood memory of experiencing the father heart of God through the pure, sobbing joy of his uncle’s welcome.
