Mommy
A mother and her little girl with Down's Syndrome. The child was clean and all dressed up. They were strolling in the mall, laughing together.
The child's laughter... so priceless and pure. Teeth and gums bared out without shame. She laughed, holding her mother's hand...
They looked happy, without a doubt. But we all know. The mother knows. In this cruel world, amongst people, witless, judging, and devoid of compassion, her little girl will grow up. She will not be little anymore, and she will suffer.
But right in this moment, she's still her little girl. And they walk hand in hand, laughing without a care.
