I can't tell you how much I appreciate them. Perhaps especially I thank those who haven't commented here before, but have taken the trouble to do so this time. And Penny, thank you for sharing the story of your son Daniel. It's been a strange couple of days, registering the death, starting to make the funeral arrangements. Family and friends have rallied round and the practicalities are beginning to come together. I have in my mind many images from the last few days which I will try to write more about soon. Uppermost in my mind just now is the beauty of PJ's heavy-lidded blue-grey eyes, which on his last evening lost the frequent look of bewilderment which has haunted me for years.

I lost my son Daniel 18 years ago, he also had Down's Syndrome and three heart defects and a bowel defect. We only shared 14 weeks before he died, but through him I have had the honour to know many people with Down's and I value his short life greatly.
