Windy Day

This is a picture of my boy running. This past spring, a freak wind
came up while he was playing at the reservoir and created chaos for
about 2 minutes. My son is now phobic about the wind - absolutely
terrified to be outside if it's gusty. Today he was in tears at
school and it broke my heart. He is only 5 and he is trying to be
'brave' and not cry, so he tells his teachers he needs to go inside
and get a drink of water, rather than admit his fear. A friend of
mine gave me the inspiration to have him draw about his fears. Wish
us luck. I love him so much and wish him freedom from his fears -
especially the ones that are based on the past and not the present.
I wish this for all of us. xoxo
