Happiness is...

... Your baby sister getting married to a beautiful, loving, nurturing, smart woman.


... Hope positively beaming as a flower girl, making sure she has the best seat in the house for the vows, and dancing the night away to her favorite pop songs.


... Going on a real vacation with the kids and Greg and my awesome parents, with airplanes and restaurants and hotels - and, oh yeah, thousands of people who love someone with Down syndrome and who want to be part of a supportive community creating a more inclusive society.




.... Having two Supreme Court decisions announced in as many days that protect the health care access extended to millions - and that saved Hope's life - and that affirm the fundamental right of Mare and Cait and millions of others to marry. Health and love rule.
