Picnic at the park

There's an instant connection between families of those with Williams syndrome. They know about SVAS, failure to thrive, developmental delays, OT, PT, hippo-therapy, and that feeling you get when you first receive the diagnosis. We enjoyed being with such families today at a WS picnic in a park about an hour away.

We met a lovely 70-year-old woman, who apparently began the national WS association 30 years ago, and her 45-year-old daughter with WS. They were both very sweet to talk with.

And Husband was encouraged by meeting a 14-year-old Garrison, whose specialty is playing the harmonica. (This is a video of him playing elsewhere, although he also played for us during the picnic.)
