My Best Friend Spent Years Caring for My Sister with Down Syndrome – Then He Said a Few Words That Changed Everything I Thought I Knew

I got over my hurt feelings and met a great guy.

Rosie moved into a little yellow house with Ben on the edge of town.

She called me every morning at nine to tell me what she was wearing.

Then came the phone call I had prayed for.

“I’m going to be a mom,” Rosie whispered. “We’re having twins.”

I dropped to the floor of my apartment, laughing and sobbing at once.

All my life, people had said Rosie would never live a normal life.

Now, she was going to be a mom.

I should have known joy that big could not travel alone.
