Whenever someone asks me "what's this social media thing all about — I don't really care about what others are doing" I like to have posts like this to send them to. Life is a series of day-to-day wins and losses, struggles and triumphs, and if we're lucky, moments like this. If we don't tell our own stories, who will?<br /><br />When I first became a parent, a very wise person told me the key is, simply, listen to your children. What L shared here is wise beyond his years and should remind all of us to listen to our children. <br /><br />Thanks again for writing.Doyle Albeehttp://www.metzgerblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29262515478447144.post-52151823480217282822009-05-22T08:32:07.588-05:002009-05-22T08:32:07.588-05:00Zena - hello.

Anyway - our daughter has Angelman Syndrome - so we're on a similar "adventure" as L puts it. <br /><br />I'm glad Beth shared this with me.

I desire to connect, body to body. My son loves what he calls "the weight" of the animal, the warmth, the power, feel. Thank you for sharing.

I have been searching for a camp for her because I have heard that not only is she drawn to them, but that horses are therapeutic. I'm gonna search for her for the summer and get it going for her. She too is high functioning, understanding some things better than others. I wanted to just say thank you so much for sharing and let you know how much this post truly touched me.

Your son sounds like one-of-a kind. We would all be wise to try and see life through the same lens he does. Thanks for the inspiration and perspective. What a great story!<br /><br />Btw, I'm sure you and yur son have heard of J-Mac (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngzyhnkT_jY)? This would be a great story to somehow send his way.
