"When I began writing, I imagined that this post was going to be about the butterfly bush that I planted in Stella’s honor four years ago and needed to move this summer. I thought I was going to write about how attached my son Jonah had become to that plant and how each butterfly that fluttered by reminded me of her. I will leave that story for another time and let this post instead be about honoring Stella—a woman who lived with courage and was ahead of her time. A woman who allowed her daughter—who has Down Syndrome—to bloom at a time when there were no support services or support groups or even a proper name for this condition."
