The relationship with a sibling is one of the longest in a personÕs life Ð often longer than the relationship with a parent, spouse, or best friend. Written from the siblingsÕ perspective, this compilation of stories celebrates the joys and challenges of having a sibling with Down syndrome. As people with Down syndrome live longer, fuller lives, their siblings take on the important task of providing care, support, and love. It is a difficult job, and one we did not ask for Ð but we wouldnÕt trade it for anything. The stories in this book are written by siblings who believe in faith, hope, and unconditional love that redefine what it means to be a family.
