I love my sister because she is kind and gentle. I love her because she never gave my parents half the trouble that the rest of us kids did. She was the glue that held us together,in good times and bad. She has shown her siblings what real love is all about. As we all know gifts from God comes in all kinds of wrappings. I treasure the gift of my sister, she was 50 this year. She did not had the great start Downs kids have today but being raised in a large family had some advantages. She has 6 sisters and 7 brothers and I know I can speak for them as well. I hope you don't mind a sisters veiw of why she loves her special sister. Parish59

She's so happy with life, so ready to hug. You should see the way she greets everyone. And the way she reacts to seeing a person in a wheelchair. You can't hold her back from going over and giving them a hug and kiss. If someone is crying, she's got to cry with them. She's such a love! How can I not love her? She makes me proud!

I love my little one because she has made me a new person. My eyes are open to a new world that I never dreamed I would be a part of. In her 6 months she has been hospitalized more than 2 of it. From being born prematurely to major heart surgery I have learned patience, unselfishness, and most of all unconditional love. Her smiling face greets me every morning and says good night at the end of each day. If she has given me all this already I can't wait for whats yet to come.

I love my little brother because he teaches me so much about myself and the world, every single day.

I also think that he's the epitome of everything right with a human being.

(but I'm incredibly biased)

I love this thread.
