John and Michael

John and Michael celebrates the special friendship between two men with Down syndrome. They became best friends in the group home where they lived. They truly loved each other and were like family, supporting each other through scary and lonely times, sharing domestic chores, acting silly together and having fun. Their friendship brought joy to day-to-day routines. When John died suddenly of a heart condition, Michael’s grief was enormous. His love and imagination and memories of their good times together helped him cope.
