I think this is really cool. The comments her friend and sister make about her are great

I posted this also last week in our "Inspiring Stories" great story.

That's a great story. Not loving the last comment though

Hey Jules, always takes just one doesn't it.

I LOVE though that on this article of the 170 or so comments I can only find one that is disappointing

I didn't read the rest of them, but I believe that. It was an overwhelmingly positive article, loved it.

Silly "normal" b$%#, doesn't she realise that it could just as easily have been her that was born with DS. It's just the luck of the bloody draw, she acts like she has done something special in order to end up "normal". And if that attitude is "normal", then give me people with DS any day of the week.

You know what, since this journey started, I have come to hate the word normal. It's all very subjective.

hehehe agreed Jules A while back we had a discussion about it and decided to use the word 'ordinary' for non-DS ppl because our kids are EXTRA-ordinary and this article proves it
