[blparent] A message to Amanda and blind parents struggling: Don't give up!

[Eric Calhoun]

Amanda, try and not be caught up in what people do, and take the bull by
the horns.  I do not like patronizing places for the blind, either.  But I
just deal.  I know you want everything for you and your son, but don't
chase waterfalls.  Enjoy life andsmile.  I love what you said, and in no
way am I being judgmental.  I love your thought processes.  You, however,
need to think things through.  Do I have a witness here?

I get up everyday, having to face a multitude of meanness.  And I tell
you: It hurts!  But just like the people in my corner of L.A., I can't
change the pot smoker, the drug pusher.  I can't change irritability and
irritable people.  But take it from someone who knows: I am not goin' down!

Amanda, there's always tomorrow.  Please smile?   Are you crying?  Smile!
 We care!
