Lido was on a four wheeler, tearing through the fields with wild abandon, gleefully enjoing the reckless fun he was having. <BR/><BR/>What an example he left for all of us - to push through our difficulties with a smile and determination. I will remember that most about him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916893495636077786.post-2827134900924974692008-12-30T10:23:00.000-05:002008-12-30T10:23:00.000-05:00Lido will be severely missed by all of us.

Now he is in heaven, probably looking down on us, thinking how silly we are for being so sad...but, it's hard not to be. He was very special and will be dearly missed by all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916893495636077786.post-1047910437934066872008-12-30T09:01:00.000-05:002008-12-30T09:01:00.000-05:00I love to read anything that Steve writes. He has ...I love to read anything that Steve writes. He has a unique style that is totally engaging. I have read this latest post several times over and each time I have to wait for my tears to stop so that I can see. <BR/><BR/>I only met Patrick twice - once at a clinic at Wrangler Farms in NC and once at Steve's. Having spent 6years at Penn State working to start riding therapy programs through the 4-H program, I thought I was familiar with the heights that "differently abled" children and adults could reach on horseback but Patrick's abilities and heart far exceeded any that I have ever seen - including my own.<BR/><BR/>I am 57 years old. Wisdom is supposed to come with age. I will have to live a VERY long time to understand why things happen the way they do. Years ago I read a book entitled "Why Bad Things Happen to Good People." I need to read it again - and again - and again. I have always tried to look for the good in a bad situation. The most appparent thing I can find in this one is the incredible love that Steve and Patrick shared. Patrick and Steve both have a spirit that defies description or definition. It can only be felt. Steve, I hope that you can find some small comfort in the knowledge that both your spirits will always be entwined and that you pass this spirit to everyone you meet whose hearts are open to receive it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
