The things you saw with your one eye were put into a different perspective when I read about your loss of vision. <BR/><BR/>Wishing I could be there to give you a good hug. You will continue to give us all a unique view of youe mountain world, and for that I thank you.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-87618294314450443812008-04-13T00:42:00.000-04:002008-04-13T00:42:00.000-04:00Oh man.My son has eye problems (both eyes really) ...Oh man.<BR/><BR/>My son has eye problems (both eyes really) and every day of his life we exercise his eyes. <BR/><BR/>Mission #1 in my parenting with him has been to be sure that he can see out of two eyes. We're at 80% with him.<BR/><BR/>So reading you with vision in one leaves me feeling a little impotent. A little sad for you.<BR/><BR/>But it also leaves me hopeful because my son learned to walk and talk to run and throw and play with vision in one eye. He learned to read with 60% in one eye and 100% in the other and I guess I feel hopeful that if my little guy can have a typical early childhood with one eye then you can have an adulthood of great quality with one too.<BR/><BR/>And darlin' I'd eat ice cream with you on a bad hair day with an old dress and no shoes on. I'm so sorry that I can't take my teeth out.Sue Doe-Nimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990788006210495760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-39334857091661135722008-04-12T12:14:00.000-04:002008-04-12T12:14:00.000-04:00Rosie, I am so sorry to hear of this latest stumbl...Rosie, I am so sorry to hear of this latest stumbling block with your vision. With the diabetes and PMR I have often wondered what would I do if I were to lose my vision. I so enjoy taking in all of the beauty that I see around me. I always come up with the same answer.... I will just find a way to pick myself up, dust myself off and keep going because that is what I do. Just from what I have read here on your blog I think I can safely bet on the fact that you won't let that hender you for any length of time. Besides....I think there is a fella that throws pebbles in the stream, that is wanting to share his ice cream with you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204654300524316224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-37829580727165441282008-04-09T10:14:00.000-04:002008-04-09T10:14:00.000-04:00Rosie, I'm so sorry to hear this news.

However, it seems that this has only made you even more observant of things around you...like the sign and the people in the car. (a lot of folks with 20/20 vision are blind when it comes to the small moments in life that inspire.)<BR/>I have a good feeling that you're going to be an even better writer than before (if that is possible). Take care and hang in there. There are a lot of your fans out here cheering you on.<BR/><BR/>Hugs <BR/>LeeunaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-75245870469776441802008-04-08T20:15:00.000-04:002008-04-08T20:15:00.000-04:00Damn, such bad news about your eye.I had a favouri...Damn, such bad news about your eye.<BR/>I had a favourite aunt a real "Grand Dame" from Long Island. She lost her eye in a way similar to you. She managed fine. She always reminded us to sit the side she could see us best.<BR/><BR/>I would still enjoy feeding you some of my ice cream cone!Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-18890325257277656632008-04-08T20:08:00.000-04:002008-04-08T20:08:00.000-04:00Sorry Rosie.
