        Thanks for sharing your story and well done! Individuals with DS are indeed very special and they have so much to offer. My younger brother has DS but with encouragement, he has participated in several art exhibitions. I thought I should share this photo to encourage DS familiespic.twitter.com/OCiQcq2kMx

        ❤️😭. I’m not crying, YOU’RE crying! 😭. My youngest sister has Down syndrome. Folks act like there isn’t wonder, beauty and joy if you have a child with special needs. —and they’re wrong. I’m so glad you shared this story, perhaps to encourage a family going through the same.
