Down Syndrome Day 3.21

Today is Down Syndrome Day, celebrating the 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome.  Ten years ago my oldest daughter worked at a summer camp where kids and adults with Down Syndrome could attend.  It was a great experience for her, one that she will never forget.  Working at the camp helped shape her outlook on life.  A few years later she met a single father, raising his son with Downs Syndrome on his own.  They started dating and are now married.  I got a grandson in the deal...nice!  I learn so much from our little guy.  He's really just like any other kid, only sweeter (okay, I may be biased).

Check out what they did in Italy today...Eccelente!
