    Texas teen w/Down Syndrome crowned homecoming queen

    Her smile says it all. And she doesn't want to remove her crown. My kind o' gal.

    I loved this story too. You just know this honor will mean so much to
    this girl. I read where she wore her crown to bed that night.


    Lut, I am so sorry about your friend's buddy Mo. I think sometimes
    the good & the innocent, die younger because they don't have anything
    to atone for in this life.

    Downs Syndrome people have a much shorter average lifespan than others, only into their fifties, and many don't make it that long because of other complications that Downs can bring to a person. But the time they are with us can be a joyful one.
