RE: The Unconditional Love for A Child : PowerHouseCreatives Contest
This is what makes the difference between people, the way they treat others less fortunate then them. I have an uncle with Down syndrome and although his parents were told he will not make it to 20 years old, today he is in his mid fifties. Just like in your story, the parents and siblings helped him and taught him the best they could to be independent. He used to live with one of his older sisters until about 8 years ago when she passed away. Ever since he lives alone but family members still visit him and help him financially as in his country disabled people are not allowed to work which is a shame.
Medicine practitioners four over decades ago always say that it's impossible but with family support and local authorities, they can. It's so unfortunate that the country does not support them financially even a big because they can be helpful and useful in life.
I see cousin being able to be a contributor to the nation as Nd most importantly not a burden to his siblings if his parents pass on.
