Sue: You know, when we were younger, people always told me Jean wouldn’t live very long. Used to be that people with Down’s didn’t live past 30. But then she turned 35, and then 40, and when she turned 50, I thought, somehow, we might grow old together. Last week, she got pneumonia. Doctor said it wasn’t bad, and they put her on antibiotics. I was there with her and she told me to go home. At 2:00 A.M., I got the call that she had passed away in her sleep.
Can I cry forever?
