There are certain days and dates we remember (like birthdays, wedding anniversaries, baptisms, promotions, for example) that bring us great joy. There are other days and dates we remember (like a loved one’s death, a traumatic event, a diagnosis, for example) with sadness.
Today marks 7 years since my vision loss. I recall the events of the day with a mix of both joy and sadness. The joy was being away with my husband and experiencing one of the nicest days together in almost 50 years. Sunshine, holding hands, planning the future…the sadness that covered me when only a few hours later there was a drastic change in my vision.
Much has happened in seven years. Every day presents itself differently, with a new set of obstacles and possibilities. I have learned how to adjust in living life n new ways. One day there may be a medical solution for those who experience this same type of vision loss. In the meantime, I depend on family, friends, and God’s grace. For them in my life I am grateful.
