As I read this I looked up at a picture of my Uncle John.. we called him Jonnyboy as kids. I can't tell you how much he influenced me in life. I never knew there was anything different about him until I was 7 or 8. I enjoyed watching how friends and strangers alike reacted to his antics... he was a hoot - very funny although not able to speak any intelligible words. It was like a second language unto it's own for the family.

Anyway I was proud to have him at my college graduation and best man at my wedding.

I agree with the above poster... if you get to know someone with Down Syndrome, you'd think a whole lot different. If God could only instill in all people the honestly love and affection of a person with DS, we'd be all better off.
