A friend of mine gave me a card when Owen was born it had this quote on it
"common characteristics observed in people with Down syndrome: natural spontaneity, genuine warmth, penetrating clarity in relating to other people, gentleness, patience and tolerance, complete honesty and the ability to engage in the unfetted enjoyment of life's gifts"
I don't know where this quote comes from, but when I found the card again the other day I smiled, remembering the comfort it brought me in the weeks after Owens diagnosis. Thanks Helen!

That's beautiful! I sure wish I had been given this in those first weeks :)
