A very good friend of mine has a downs syndrome daughter and she is married to a downs syndrome man. They are very happy and keep very busy. Through my friend I have met several downs syndrome children and adults, they are wonderful people.
When we lived in California, the home for challenged children took a small group of their charges to the
grocery store at the same time and on the same day of the week as I went.
Those children and young adults were the sweetest people I’ve ever met. They enjoyed being greeted and
remembered from week to week, and the slightest compliment would light up their faces with big smiles.
Seeing them each week is one of the things I miss the most about living in California.
