I am happy to met someone like Allam, he is a Down syndrome young boy but with good heart and from a happy family. I met him here in the hospital while waiting for our relatives to come out from the operating room. Like my father-in-law, his aunt also undergo heart bypass on the same day,during that time most of us was worried and praying for the successful operation until he sang a westlife song and dance in front of us to makes us smile. Maybe he noticed that everyone was worried and he needs to do something to forget our worries even for a while. He's very jolly, loving and caring person. Although I met him in a very short time but i will never forget him for what he had done and because of his kindness and innocent heart. Have a great day!

That's so nice that you had this experience. I was blessed to have a brother with Down Syndrome. Like my brother, people with Down Syndrome in general are extremely loving and sensitive to the feelings of others. My brother is an adult now but he was always particularly kind to pretty women, lol. He would go up to one and say, "You're so pre-e-etty". The women loved him. Thanks for sharing your experience. It made me smile to think of my brother who I don't see often.

Hi there ! I felt ashamed after reading your post. A Down Syndrome can make everybody's day happy , beautiful, and inspiring and here me , a normal and healthy one but always sad and can't bring a light but a gray day only. A sick boy but with a cheerful heart and touching other's life ! Question pops up in my mind , what have i done ? Have i do something for other's life ? I need to do something now , an innocent Down Syndrome is the best example to all of us on how to live our life despite having a deformity.

I have met a few children who have down syndrome disease and I have to agree with you that they have a good and innocent heart capable of caring and loving. They bring joy to everywhere they go because of their jolly nature. The children that I have come to know have the gift of music, of voice, of great dancing, of intelligence and even of sports. God has created everyone beautiful and unique. Special children or special people have limitations in some areas of their lives but God has blessed them more abundantly in other aspects. :)

Kids who are sick can be the most caring people in the world. Not only they love others unconditionally, but they kind of feel when someone needs a love or mood boost, so they keep you happy and express their love so much. These kids are true gems.

That was so nice of him. Although they are not fully well, somehow they can sense their surroundings. I think they can also sense the mood of those close to them because even though they cannot communicate well, I noticed by their body language that they want to make sure that none of their friends is crying or upset. I observed this one time when we went to White Cross to donate some clothes and toys.

He's really nice, even a short time he made me happy and inspired me because of his kind and innocent heart. He might not fully understand the situation mentally but emotionally he felts the sadness and pain of the people around him.
