This needs no commentary. It’s powerful, moving, and terrific. Frank Stephens is a gift and his words are worth heeding. He is speaking here not just to Congress, but to all of us; not just of Down syndrome but about his mother’s Alzheimer’s disease which “has already begun to steal my mom from me…”

Well done, and admirable. Watch and share the whole thing.
