    Being a sister of a brother who has Down Syndrome and also being his only family can be tough because its hard to get all the answers. Being a sister has taught me unconditional love and understanding. It has also brought along with it a very defensive side of myself. I remember when I was younger feeling defensive or even aggressive to protect my brother. Well those traits have not gone away and I have to be very cautious and gentle with myself when I feel them. I am grateful for everything I have and am able to provide.
