[blparent] What's it like to have a blind mom?

[Jeri Milton]

	Hi Jo Elizabeth. My step son who is 19 years old gets asked all of the time what it's like to have a blind mother. James shrugs and says she does everything, and she cooks up a storm. Then the questions begin about how does she cook etc. He tells them that he honestly doesn't know how I do it, he just knows that I do it well. At least I know he likes my cooking right? Lol. Dylan, my boy, was talking with his friends about their mommies. When Dylan told his friends that his mama is blind. They said Lier Lier Pants on Fire! He came home and said, mommy they didn't believe me! I wonder how this will go as he gets older. Smile.

My daughter, who is four, had a friend over the other day.  The friend was just a little older.  She asked my daughter what it was like to have a blind mom.

Without missing a beat, my daughter said, “Oh, Mommy does lots of stuff.  She just doesn’t get to drive Daddy’s car.”

Her perspective will undoubtedly change as she gets older now, but for the moment, that’s how she sees it.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
