I had two precious Down-Syndrome grandchildren. One born naturally to my son and daughter in law. The other adopted from the Ukraine.

That takes a very special, loving person to adopt, especially out of country and with a special circumstances. You’re obviously a good parent.

Life is SO short and we make this short life span so important. If we thought more of eternity we might have more peace of mind.
Down-Syndrome children are living longer and longer these days, I understand. Some even marry and have children. Since we don't hear any dreadful tales about their lives/children/etc., I assume that their children are decent citizens. Why wouldn't they be? [Rhetorical.]

I worked for years at a major hospital.Our hospital has arrangements with several nearby State Hospitals to provide care for their patients.As a result I came in contact with many Downs Syndrome folks.I was always struck by their gentle,sweet nature...even when they were sick.

I went to the funeral of the brother of a friend of mine Tuesday. He was downs. The homily was the best I’ve heard at a funeral ever. I wish I had a copy or a recording of it.
