Best Valentines gift

[Granby]

Hihi diz iz O T and da gramby iz crozz postink again but it iz wort it diz
times.

I went into work today and one of the cleaning crew a man about 35 but only
about 12 in actions came up to me. He has Downs Syndrome and is pretty hard
to understand. I have tried to talk to him and we are friends.

He had his hand behind his back and said "You no one's sweetheart"? I said
Well, not at the moment." He said you can be mine until you get one. He then
gave me a plastic box filled with silk type Red Rose petals. The clearance
price of .10 was still on the box but at that moment, they were priceless.

It just doesn't get much better than that.

Micki is a caregiver for people in that general group (no Downs
Syndrome in the group home right now) and she treats them like family.
They are wonderfull people. So is Micki. They love Bear and our cats,
but mostly Bear.

Most of the cleaning crew have mental handicaps but they are all lovely
people. Some of them can be trying at times and their supervisors have
their hands full. I never go into work without getting a hug and, when I
give them a free soda or coffee, I RULE!

Yes. She was my landlady when we lived in West Haven. When she wanted
to sell the house and buy the condo, she needed a partner and poker
had been very good to me. So we share the condo and Bear and the cats.
And now the parrots, which were her idea.

In the summer, I give them gift certificates from Dairy Queen. Someone from
his group home takes them for the mice cream. Have to give them enough for
all ten kids but, well worth it.

Nope. it doesn't get better than that. Some times I find myself
wondering why so called normal people can't be as sweet as those with
down's syndrome.

What a nice story!!

I have known several 'special people'.

They know they are 'different'. I think that must be the hardest part.

The main thing all the ones I have known is that they want you to like
them, and be friends with them.

There was a custodian where I work for many years. I used to see him
buying cans of Coca-Cola from the vending machine (which is expensive).

I asked him why he didn't buy it in the grocery store; on sale, 24 packs
cost about 1/3 the price in the vending machine.

Turns out, he just couldn't manage a case of Coke with his other
groceries, on the bus. He had to walk 6 or 8 blocks home from the bus
stop, too.

So for several years, I would buy him cases of Coca-Cola, and bring them
to work for him.

One year I gave him a Walkman type radio for Christmas. And a recharger,
and some rechargeable batteries, so he wouldn't have to buy batteries.
He was never without it, from then on.

He was a very nice man, and worked really hard.

One day, he was gone, and I asked his supervisor. His family had moved
him to a another city, after he had lived in the same one, all of his
life. It must have been really hard on him. And he didn't say anything
to me; I think he must have been really upset :-(

I've found in the past that people with Downs Syndrome are incredibly
strong, once when I still smoked a Downs lad that I knew asked for a
cigarette which I gave him, about 15 minutes later he came back with an
uprooted bush in his hand and said "I bought you a flower", it was ver hard
not to laugh.

I am sure it was. Somehow things look different to them. So long as you
took the "flower" that was the point.

We have a group of handicapped adults come in to "socialize" (read:
pet and play with)...the kittens
and puppies at the shelter. It's a job to them, and they take their
job very seriously. My experience
with handicapped adults was very limited until I met them. And I never
met a group of more gentle-
spirited people in my life.

[Granby]

So many of them are gentle souls but, because they can't speak "properly"
and twitch of don't fit a mild, adults tend to not want them around.
Animals and young children seem to get that hey are good people.
