Marcia, me too. I was very afraid of them as most of them lived their lives peering out from behind a curtain. So bad for them, so bad for us.

But then Dad 'hired' John to do little jobs for him. Dad couldn't understand him much, but we kids could, and so we interpreted for John.

We also learned so much.

I have had lots to do with DS kids since, and I haven't met one that wasn't loveable.

The thing is parents suffer too. Hopefully these days, not o much.

There's a little chap o FB, Hudson, (Huddy). Gosh he is so lovely and handsome. Check him out. If you can't find him, let me know. x
