I chased her down Walmart

 I was in Walmart on Thursday food shopping and house shopping. While I was in the towel section I saw an adorable boy that caught my eyes and from where I was standing he showed characteristics of having Down Syndrome, so I placed my towel back on the shelf and chased the woman with the boy down Walmart. I felt so strange doing such pursuit but once I saw she was heading to the electronic section and sort of yelled out " excuse me...excuse me" and she stopped and looked back. I kindly approached her with a smile just to make her comfortable. I asked her "does you son have..." and before me saying Down Syndrome she smiled and said yes.. I told her "My daughter has.. and before I finish the sentence she smiled and said I want to see her. Her son is a well speaking active six year old who loves babies...we exchanged number and will be calling her in the future to set up a play date.

I have read blogs about parents who have children with Down Syndrome who were at a shopping center and saw from a far a child with Down Syndrome and follow them through the place just to see how that particular child is or just because and I remember saying I would never NEVER do such a thing, but like Justin Bieber sings "Never say Never."
