“You look so much like your mom did when she was your age.”
Those were the words of a friend as she scrolled through some family photos with me.
“Do you remember her face?”
Dear Jennifer,
I am legally blind with retinitis pigmentosa. I have spent lots of time leaning how to do things like crochet, run my home, take part in church activities, etc. It has been a challenge, as you well know, but God has helped me all the way. Many times I am told, “You can’t be too blind or you couldn’t do that” from sighted people, and I have to admit it hurts some. With all of your accomplishments, do you get that response and does it bother you, or am I just being too sensitive or proud? How do you respond to it?
Wanda
