She had promised this ball to her best friend in first grade: a heartwarming story of friendship

Noah had trisomy 21. But at six, what mattered to Christina was that he triumphed in dinosaur quizzes and laughed heartily at her rough drawings. A cruel comrade once claimed that no one could ever love him. Christina replied without the slightest hesitation.

Twelve years of a faithful and discreet presence

Le temps a passé. Quand Christina avait 12 ans, le divorce de ses parents a tout bouleversé. Elle mangeait à peine, parlait peu, disparaissait dans elle-même. Noah s’est simplement installé à ses côtés. Sans poser de questions. Sans forcer. Présent, c’est tout.
