21 More Alike Than Different I wish I would have known I wish I'd known life wouldn't be defined by the myths and misconceptions I had about Down syndrome, but instead, it would be as "normal" as normal gets, and my son would fill my life with love and joy beyond comprehension or measure. Sandy, mom to Lucas (19 months) I wish I d known that children with Down syndrome are just as loveable, kissable, snotty, tantrum-throwing, bubble-blowing, huggable and milestone-making as their siblings.
