Color My World With Love was such a sweet, inspiring movie. Emma is floored when she discovers that her daugher, Kendall, who suffers from Downs Syndrome, is dating. She’s doubly shocked when she finds out that Kendall becomes engaged to Brad (who also has Downs Syndrome).
Emma’s reaction was realistic. Nic, Brad’s guardian, tries to reason with Emma. Emma has a hard time letting go – she doesn’t think Kendall should marry. Kendall has a lot to do – she’s a painter – and she now has to plan for a wedding. Kendall wants her dad to come to the wedding. Her dad has never been a part of her life and I enjoyed seeing Emma confront Kendall’s wayward father – tried to reason with him – and convince him to come to the wedding.
This movie showed how those with disabilities strive to live their lives the best that they can.
As an aside – I did some research about the actress who played Kendall (Lily D. Moore). I discovered that she’s a student at Clemson. Clemson has a program entitled Clemson Life. The program teaches students with Downs Syndrome life skills. The students learn these skills while living on a college campus. I’d never heard of such a program before and I was glad that I found out about it. I love learning new things.
Color My World With Love reminded me of Life Goes On – a 90’s series that featured a Downs Syndrome main character named Corky. This used to be one of my favorite shows. Ironically, one of the actresses from Life Goes On, Kellie Martin, is also a Hallmark actress. Kellie played the role of Becca on this show.
I had an aunt with Downs Syndrome. When I was a kid, she used to come and spend the entire summer with us. She was so much fun! I remember her knitting and crocheting all the time. We’d stay up late at night watching TV and talking. Those were some good times. She passed away years ago and I still miss her.
