I didn’t know (or maybe I knew and forgot) that Sunday, March 21, was World Down syndrome Awareness Day.

Sophie and I were waiting at the car wash when I noticed Maya had posted some lovely thoughts about Leo, in honor of the day.

Whoops.

I went home and told Ray, who said exactly what I knew he’d say: “Every day is World Down syndrome Awareness Day in our house.”

True. Still, I let Sophie pick out some chocolate mint ice cream sandwiches for dessert. I didn’t tell her why.

Tonight I saw a lovely post from Sunday by StarrLife, who linked to this video, called “I Have a Voice.”
