Life with Down syndrome. Another heart wrenching experience when we had our daughter at an event. She was somewhere around a year old. An elderly gentleman looked at her and began to cry. He looked at us and told us to love her. He related that he and his wife also had a daughter with Down Syndrome, but as soon as she was born, the medical staff wished her away and never allowed them to see her. She was raised a home. They never got to see her until she was older, but by that time it was too late. I think the idea that these children suffer comes from this dark history. Families were made to suffer because of ignorance. The exact same ignorance continues to this day. We have witness this ignorant on many platforms over the past few days. The ignorance towards this disability has been extremely disturbing. These children do not suffer, they define love, they are the closest thing in the world to human perfection.
