Daniel. And Water.
This is why I do what I do. Daniel loves the water. He can feel freedom in the water and when I swim with him I sense that he can use his entire body and not have the limitations of gravity.
I had him in Aqua therapy for a long time with Angel Fish...but could no longer afford it. Now I am the therapist..and he seems ok with that. At least he swims.
Water is magical. I don't feel right unless I'm near the ocean. I don't know why. I miss Naples Florida desperately because there...we can swim every day... multiple times a day. I long for a chance to bring Daniel back to a warm climate. Sarah and Thomas like it too...
Here are some pictures of Daniel in water. All that I do...I do for him.... to provide him with the simple things in life that so many people just take for granted.
I dream of the ocean at night... and being near water. Someday. Someday. We will be able to do this every day.
