I ran away from home on Saturday. I had a good weekend away with two Sisters of the Chromosome-hood, Wendy and Donna. We had an overnight escape to a cottage on the York River, near historic Yorktown (of Revolutionary War fame).
We spent our time shopping, talking, eating, talking, mojito-ing, talking, sleeping and talking. As it should be!
Donna and Wendy each have two daughters with Down syndrome. Between them, they have one kindergartener and three 1st graders. That's a whole lot of activity! I know they needed the escape more than I did, especially since they each planned and executed a Buddy Walk in their town this month (and Wendy threw in a Golf Tournament as well for a good measure of insanity).
It was a wonderful time to share--without interruptions.
This extra-chromosome thing is really a sisterhood. It's also a family tree. Those of us who have a family member with Down syndrome really are connected genetically. I don't know where I'd be without my extended Ds family. Probably up the York River without a paddle. Thanks, blogworld, for being part of my family!
