I'm lucky to have a lot of great aunts and uncles, but my Uncle Andy and I were especially close. He was born with down syndrome. The Doctors at the hospital said, don't even introduce [my Uncle Andy] to his brothers and sisters. Just send him right to an institution. They said he would just be a challenge to the rest of the family. Uncle Andy wasn't always easy, but far more than a challenge. He was an absolute joy to our family. (00:06–00:13)
