When Brenton Ashford-Potter told his mum "I love my life, I'm living my dream", it was music to her ears.
The Woonona woman had the confirmation that all mums craved - that their children were happy.
Brenton has Down syndrome and severe dyspraxia, a disorder affecting his speech.
He also has leaking heart valves, the reminder of open heart surgery he underwent at four months old.
But it is 21-year-old Brenton's abilities that do the talking.
The "footy nut" mentors and coaches primary-aged children, has an orange belt in judo, surfs in his spare time, and has even found time to help out with lighting and sound at a local theatre company.
