Son With Down Syndrome Spots Dad at Airport—What Happens Next Will Totally Melt Your Heart

Though people with Down Syndrome are often bullied or perceived as “less than” in society (as exemplified by Iceland’s 100 percent abortion rate on babies with the condition), they are actually filled with more love and joy than most of us combined.
