This is an interesting piece from the New York Times. Even more interesting were the responses, mostly from parents but also from siblings of people with Down syndrome. Warning, have your tissues handy. Very moving, sad, bittersweet, and simply sweet. I find myself both desperately curious to hear from siblings of people with Ds but also terrified. I only want to hear the stories of "my brother made me a better person, he is the glue that holds our family together..." I don't want to hear the bad stuff, but I know it's there.
But there's good stuff too. Trust me.

I feel weird telling you to read my blog :), but if you read my blog from last October, I had a lot of stuff about my sister in there. This year was a little more me centric :)
I always have to steel myself when reading comments from the general public regarding disabilities. The comments were way more interesting than the article. The good and the bad.
