il fait bon vivre

the family in this documentary is an aquaintance of ours (their daughter is the same age as lucas, and goes to preschool with him). they have an amazing story, really worth watching.

i saw a desire to live, and a family & community who would stop at nothing to help him. it is really striking to meet him today, to see him playing music up on stage as if nothing ever happened. to know what he and his family really went through, im incredulous, really... thought it was worth sharing.
