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.







"Someday. We will be able to do this every day. " i BELIEVE this.
