My first experience with someone who had Down's Syndrome was Kay. She was an older adult who lived in a long term care facility. I had never met a more loving individual.......... she greeted every day with child like awe and excitement and brightened the day for everyone around her.
She gave far more into her world than she took. Not many of us can say that about ourselves.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Years ago, I was at a music festival with a friend and our teenage children. Her 16 year old daughter had Downs and we took turns staying with her, as she had made a nest on the grass in front of one of the stages and wasn't budging. During one of my shifts, a girl came along with a flower-decorated basket containing 3 kittens. The girl with Downs took a kitten and cuddled and stroked and loved the kitten, but when it was time to put it back in the basket, she refused.......dug her heels in. The little girl was worried and called for her mom, but the Down's girl would not give up the kitten, which she had named "pussy".......I was helpless, the girl with the basket and her mom were helpless.......when I tried to take the kitten, she would just hold it tighter, making it impossible without injuring the kitten. I sent my son to find my friend to get the kitten safely away from her, which she did. The Downs girl cried and cried to lose her pussy........Her mom went over to a young Downs man who her daughter knew and trusted and he came over and asked her to dance. She put out her hand, gave him the sweetest smile I have ever seen. He was a real gentleman, helped her up and led her to the dance area with a gentle touch at her waist. I heard her ask him " Can I be your pussy?" as she put her head on his shoulder. .......I teared up at their innocent sweetness.......Such pure love........
