We have been friends for years.
We got to know each other the year I moved here.
Her daughter, who also happens to have Down syndrome, is one year older than ME.
Nearly all of my kids are many more years older than her oldest child.

I am a writer. I will share my journey through words. Locally and quite possibly globally.
We are doing the same thing. Today, I realized that. I think we both realized that.
My words matter, and her actions matter.
I enjoyed the lunch immensely. I am grateful for this friend. I always have been.
I am grateful we got to just enjoy our friendship.
