My Cousin
Peter
My cousin Peter is always one of
the happiest people you would ever want to meet. He is
always wearing a smile and isn't concerned with such
things and what outfit to wear or what new toys or
gadgets to purchase. He lives on his own in a group home
and often attends family gatherings.
My
cousin Peter has Down Syndrome.
When we were growing up and he attended our
family get-togethers he liked to have a broom and sweep.
He could sweep the countertops and furniture as well as
the floor and my aunt or my cousin would take the broom
away from him, just in case he banged someone in the
head with it.
He
is a happy-go-lucky guy. When I graduated from the
University of Wisconsin Journalism school and got my
first job as a reporter on the local weekly newspaper it
was a thrill for me to do a special story. My story in
the paper was about the group home where my cousin
lived. My aunt was featured in the story and Peter's
photo appeared. It was a happy occasion for my family
and we still have the newspaper clipping of that article
from long ago.
Now when
Peter attends family gatherings, he is quite fond of the
yellow pages. He loves to page through it and occupies
himself with that as we gather and talk all around him.
I am very fortunate to have him in my
life.
