There was this Person some time ago who said something along these lines: "the kingdom of heaven belongs to little children."

If you've ever worked with Downs kids, you know what He meant. Many are free from ever learning the sort of deceit, cunning, and snideness we associate with "growing up." Truly this cloud has a very special silver lining.

Maybe in heaven we will all love as fully, laugh as freely, and enjoy life as completely as the children with downs syndrome I have encountered.

Continued prayers, thoughts, etc. from Seattle.

PS Spaw you rule.
