I Dare You Not To Cry
Both times I was pregnant, I thought a lot about what would happen if I
learned that my child had Down syndrome. I grew up hearing my
grandparents say over and over again that having Chris is the best thing
that ever happened to them. They believe that he enriches their lives
in ways that they could never have imagined. They’re right; Chris is an
exceptional human being. Still, I suspect that if I found myself in
Kelle’s shoes, my reaction would be a lot like hers was.
