“Don’t you think Kristen should decide what’s too difficult for her to do?” Cade asked. “Maybe she figures getting hurt is worth it to try and succeed at new things. Kids need to try different activities to help build their confidence.”
Lyn’s mouth hardened. This man didn’t know her or her daughter. Not really. One doctor’s visit didn’t give him the right to tell her how to raise her own child. “I’m her mother. I know what’s best for her.”
She ignored his deep frown and turned her back on him as she adjusted the halter over Apple’s muzzle. As she climbed into the saddle, she hoped Cade would let the subject drop.
“What if I help Kristen?” he persisted. “I’m pretty good with horses and could give her riding lessons. It’d strengthen her legs and back, which would help her walk better, too. As her doctor, I highly recommend she try anything she likes. Let her live her life, Lyn.”
Hearing him say her first name caused her face to heat up like road flares. A feeling of panic made her arms tremble, and she shook her head. “I...I can’t take that chance. Kristen’s a smart kid. She’ll go to college one day and get a good job. There are lots of things she can do to support herself with her feet safely on the ground. She doesn’t need to ride horses in order to live a fulfilled life.”
“I agree, but she has to learn what makes her happy. We all do. You can’t force her to be what she’s not any more than you can inhibit what she likes doing. Riding might give her a lot more self-confidence with walking.”
“So will good grades.”
Cade didn’t respond, thank goodness. She didn’t want to get into an argument with this man over the right way to raise her child. She’d love for Kristen to be able to run, jump, play and do anything she liked. But she couldn’t. Lyn didn’t want her daughter to suffer any more heartbreak. And so the answer must be no.
