Let's put a face on Down's syndrome for a minute...
nads.org

it is a very hard thing to cope with , the strain & fears
doubts and pain on the parents is huge ...
confronting so many of broken dreams and hopes from the start, and before .
....there are high-functioning
DS children and low ....

Stories of those that make the adjustment
and successfully cope are some of the most extremely inspiring .
All the pain and hurt these people must first
go thru ... much of which never goes away.

Not too hard to find
a great deal of what the meaning of love is in these
many stories...but not all can cope , though.

In a way , what is not so perfect a world , seems it
can be made closer to perfect thru this kind of Love ,
and caring doesn't it ?
for those many would consider unwanted ...but that
has changed far far more for the better in recent years, so
incredibly more so than before .

What these people must go thru at first ...pretty
unbelievable really .

The Special Olympics , started by Eunice Shriver
in the 1960's was a great thing , really .
A good Catholic using a great Pagan Celebration/Game
for the doing real good works .

Love & Compassion are old & ancient concepts , greg .
Older than your Adam and Eve....
It amazes me how some think it is unique only to their
own theology & philosophy...and scriptures & idea
of the Diety.

regards

;-)
