She didn't go to school, and my grandparents fully took care of her until they passed away. She is now in a home with a wonderful staff and she is flourishing.<br /><br />On my daily commute to work I see a young man with Down syndrome waiting at the bus stop, he is dressed to go to work. I've never spoken with him and don't know who he is - but it makes me happy to see a person with Down syndrome so independent and confident. I don't mean that in a condescending way like "Aw he's doing so well, good for him." I mean we have come a long way since my aunt was born. I wonder what how different her life could have been if she was born in a different time.<br /><br />So yes this ad is quite inspiring! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773709208108297978.post-43020097819590306532012-08-09T19:51:08.086-05:002012-08-09T19:51:08.086-05:00tiffany...i think you hit the nail on the head. sh...tiffany...i think you hit the nail on the head. she's just being herself, but she will be paving the way for a change in the fashion world.
