I went to pick up Geraldo from the Texana workshop he attends, and his ex-girlfriend planted him a good-bye kiss. Two other girls, also with Down's syndrome, giggled and laughed. Gerald's friend said, "He's my ex-boyfriend." More giggles and laughs. Then she sees me and says, "She's my ex-boyfriend's mother." More giggles and laughs. Good thing Geraldo had taken off to get his stuff, so he was not here for this. He would have been embarrassed. This young lady is usually very quiet and even moody when her mom is around. But, at the workshop, she is on her own. Away from prying eyes and comments. She felt free to express herself and make jokes, and entertain her friends. She looked absoluately different than at home. Wonder what Geraldo is like when I am not there.?

I have been interested in the Bible for many years. I have been saved by Jesus Christ since the age of eleven. I am now sixty-seven. I did not study the Bible until the birth of my Downs Syndrome son, Geraldo, when I was thirty-five. Only in my LORD could I find comfort and consolation. So, I pray there are like minded souls out there. Leave a comment, no matter if you have positive or negative thoughts about what you read.
