I had a similar experience. I grew up with a childhood friend who had Down syndrome. That led me to my career working with adults with intellectual disabilities. I’m retired now, but I still miss them! Thank you for your comment.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was fortunate to work with people with disabilities for decades. During that time, I lost five friends with Down syndrome. I can only hope you find comfort in the memories you have of your nephew.

UNWORTHY

A story about Operation T4, carried out by the Nazis based on the doctrine that people with disabilities represented “life unworthy of life.” Their murder was termed disinfection.

I've lost several friends with Down syndrome, but I can only imagine how painful it is to lose a loved one. Thank you for your comment.

I'm glad you liked the poem! Our little dog is Zoey. She's eleven pounds of cuteness. The pup in your profile pic is adorable as well!

I understand what you're saying. Having an illness is difficult enough without having to put up with the skeptical attitudes of the medical profession.

Of course, it applies to everyone who is marginalized, but with this post, I was focusing on the specific issue of intolerance that individuals with Down syndrome too often face.
