Today is 3/21...World Down Syndrome Day...that's right...because of the three 21st chromosomes that those with DS have. I hope you enjoy this final installment of the DSALA 21 quotes for 21 days...
Day 16:
When I mentioned that my new baby - about three weeks old
had Down syndrome, he smiled at me and said:
"Really? That's cool!"
Nothing anyone else could have said to me at that time
could have made me feel any better!
