I just called my dtr to read your post. We’re both crying. What a beautiful story. Do you have any pictures? A good friend of mine at school had Downes Syndrome. I think of her often may she RIP.
God bless you for all your good work. Taking care of special needs kids has to be very difficult.
I have pictures but they were taken by the Pope’s photographer and there some code or something in them that doesn’t let me post them on-line.
