there is a nice boy in my brothers grade who graduated last year. he is 20 and also has down syndrome. He is one of the nicest boys i know. i love how nice he is and how everyone loves him. he might die soon, but the good thing is he was prom king and lived a life of helping people.

That's sad that he might die. :( I know people with down syndrome have a shorter life expectancy. But, yeah, he probably did more in what we would consider a short life so far than a lot of us will ever do with 50 years more than him.

So many times I've thought that. Maybe they've got it right? Maybe we should be the ones following their example. And I think that it's wonderful that you take such pride in your brother. I have 4 cousins with special needs and a lot of special friends at school, and let me tell you, they make each and every day better.

He is rather adorable. :) Someone mentioned going bowling in church today, and he was like, *gasp* "Oh? bowling?" really loud. lol. He wants to go along and bowl.

Yeah. One time I was on witty and he came along and started reading and I'm like... what? I thought he just read the same stuff all the time and had it memorized. But I was surprised to find that he can actually read things he's never seen before.

I am going to show this quote to my brother. He had a baby around thanksgiving and he has down syndrome... When he found out he basically said "My life is over, I have a for a son." it honestly broke my heart to hear him say this about my nephew. I'm going to show him this to make him realize that just because his son has a disability doesn't mean he is going to be stupid or horrible. Thank you for making this quote.

Awhh. That is heart-breaking. My little brother has been an amazing blessing to us! Sure, it may take him longer to learn different things, and there may be stuff he'll never do, but he was put here by God for a reason. :) Same as your nephew.

This is by far the cutest and inspiring thing I have ever read on this website and I just want to let you know that. I'am seriously printing this out and putting it on my wall because when I see something like this on my wall it will remind me that if your little bro can be so nice and caring, then maybe I can too. <3

That's awesome! Thank you so much for telling me that. So many times he just makes me stop and think, "Hey, I honestly need to be more like him in how he loves other people and cares so much."
