I used to drive by a bus stop on the way to work where developmentally disabled people used to wait for their bus ride each day - I guess to go to "school." Anyway, one thing that has stuck with me ever since is the picture of this guy, clearly with down's syndrome, standing there holding his lunch bag every morning with a HUGE, HAPPY GRIN on his face. Every single morning. Would kind of make me ashamed of how I mumble and grumble at the inconveniences of life. Those are the happiest and yes, kindest most loving people on earth. Perhaps we who are "healthy" and "whole" are the ones with the real disabilities. Seems his "quality of life" could be seen as much higher than most "normal" people who have it all. Thanks for the much needed reminder. Oh and another thing. Years back in Ireland, if a disabled child was born to a family, the family was seen as being tremendously blessed by God. But in our age of selfishness we have lost the true meaning of love and sacrifice for others. If you can't be bothered, just abort "it." Shame!

Funny you say this, as I have always thought on this. Just who are the Normal ones. Downs people are pure love and so very honest. LOL.
