Yesterday on the plane, there was a child with Down syndrome who tried to share smiles and giggles with anyone who’d spare a few moments. Most people didn’t bother, but there was this younger child who kept playing peekaboo. I realized I admired this child, he’s not afraid of what’s different, although his other siblings pretended not to see the one who was ‘different’.
I, who usually curse those plane trips with noisy kids, spent the 3.5 hours flight playing peekaboo with both kids, while reading my book. And all I could think of was; "I wish I had candy in my pocket to give the two little angels!". It seems I am human after all.
