Uplifting

I met a one year old girl yesterday with Down Syndrome.

I was at Guy's Hospital, visiting my mother, and in the bed next to us, was a woman visting her mother.

Anyway, this girl had really big blue eyes, and she couldn't stop smiling - honestly, she had the face of a little angel. So as I usually do when I see cute babies, I pull weird faces and make funny sounds at them, and the little girl just started chuckling.

Her mother said that the girl was born two months premature and that she had been diagnosed with Down Syndrome.

When I think of the struggle that this little girl, who gave me the cutest chuckle ever, has to face in her life, it makes you realise how amazing some of the parents who have to deal with this are - the woman saw her daughter as a blessing, and quite unique.

And after seeing this little girl smiling, I think I agree with her.

So, Biff's saying of the day;

"seize the day".
