The imagery and film of eldest child Raina, middle child Tristan (a child with Down syndrome) and Gavin playing together, and the pride in their parents eyes, conveyed more about the amazingly beautiful experience of being a parent than we would have ever been able to achieve with actors, actresses and catchy jingles. They were (and are) perfect.
