I was able to get to the link right when I clicked on it. I also forwarded it on to my two of my other three sisters. My baby sister (20 in February, so not really a baby) has Downs Syndrome, and I couldn't imagine my life without her.

Thanks for the oppurtunity,

* What seems like the end may really be a new beginning** Be happy and thankful for all that you have always....
