The other day, I saw this social media post by a young artist named DJ Kraz.

In one tweet, he compellingly shows the overwhelming gift and value of every tomorrow to which we arrive.

“Tomorrow is worth more than 10 million dollars.”

Does it change the way live?

Today is World Down Syndrome Day, and so this evening my friends and I were reflecting on the value of those with Down Syndrome in our lives.

My favourite story my friend shared was about a man named Peter for whom she cared for one year while working as a live-in assistant at a L’Arche community in Montreal.

Peter was in his 30s and his kidneys did not work well. He was on dialysis and, because he could not urinate properly, he also had a catheter that, in his case, was surgically changed every six months.
