"You are a lovely little peach. DS children always are the happiest people I know. They have a sense of understanding that most people don't. A friend of mine died of cancer some years ago and while the rest of us morned at her furneral her DS son smiled the whole way through. When asked why he just said the obvious. 'My mummy loved God and she said she wasn't feeling well and wanted to see God so he could make her better and now she is seeing him so she isn't sick anymore, so i'm happy for her.' Every one of us felt quite silly and selfish at his simple explanation. I some times wish I could see the world through their eyes".
A comment on an article about Down Syndrome babies.
I don't know if you know this, but in some countries, women who are carrying Down Syndrome babies are advised to abort them. I get why they're allowing this practice, but there's a tiny part of me that can't bear the thought of killing an unborn child.
And I wonder why I always look at the ugly side of things instead of the good. But then I also find it hard to believe that I'm sharing oxygen with talentless, self-entitled hacks like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry when they should've disappeared from this Earth forever. Guess which I'm more comfortable with.
