My friends Jen and Rich have a beautiful daughter, Nadilee Rose who has Down Syndrome. She is 10.

When she comes over to my house, which is pretty often because she is just such a delight, she always wants to type. So, I set her up on one of the computers (whichever one I'm not using for work, or the teenager isn't using to IM and away she goes.

I bought her a Smith Corona Electronic Typewriter on Ebay and it came last night. (Remember those?)

You guys would have been weeping if you could see the pure, unadulterated joy in that little face when I brought it over to her. She had an absolutely ear to ear grin. We set it up and she started typing right away. She's very high functioning, reads and all, but more importantly, she is an absolute gift from God.

When my FIL died, (she loved him), she brought me a bear to put in his casket. She came to visit my husband in the hospital. She is, quite simply, the most beautiful human being I know.

Anyway, wanted to share. Because I love her so much.
