Julie Tennant, has Down Syndrome, a condition caused by an "extra" chromosome.  Her Grampa said it wasn't extra but everyone else is MISSING it.  He called it the LOVE Chromosome.

Derrick Tennant, a gifted athlete, was progressing in his dream for a career in sports when one evening he laid down but did not wake up for three days.  Paralyzed and in a coma, Derrick underwent brain surgery from which he became unable to move his left side.
