Strange ideas people have about DS

[Guest guest]

There isn't a day goes by that we don't tell Matteo that he is our angel (and

I'm afraid it's a while since I said that on a daily basis to his 21 year-old

brother who is still going through a loooong adolescence!).

BUT I was still surprised recently by a very sweet woman I met at a friend's

house. We had been chatting for a while, and she was very interested in him,

when she suddenly asked, as if it were a perfectly natural question, whether

Matteo ever spoke to angels!?!

Now, Matteo doesn't actually speak, but she had been so nice that all I could do

was say I really didn't know ...... maybe? ..... if anyone speaks to angels,

then it will be him......?

Another Woopi Golderg moment was at the end of a plane journey. The woman in the

seat beside us had told me her life story and I had told her mine, and the

journey had 'flown' by. She had been very helpful when Matteo had blocked on the

bus from the terminal, and he was needing a lot of persuasion to get off the

plane. We said our goodbyes, and then she turned back to me and said,

'Matteo wants you to know he's sorry about what he's putting you through, and

that he loves you very much'.

..........Oh, OK..........Thanks......

(mum to Matteo, 20 next week, and yes, my angel.....)
