World Down Syndrome Day

Happy World Down Syndrome Day! I deserve opportunity, respect, and high expectations. Never pity, never stares, never patronized. I am loving but not always an angel. I am capable and culpable. Don't ever underestimate me. I'm special but in a different way than you might think. See, I'm a little bit magic. My eyes tell you I know more about you than anyone else does. I am a piece of all that we don't understand but know is waiting for us somewhere. I matter.
