when I came over yesterday to bring her some frozen meals I made for her, the kitchen was really a mess. There were dirty dishes in the sink that I think she had tried to wash, but didn’t really get them clean. There were puddles of coffee on the counters,
with electric cords trailing through them. There were scraps of food and trash on the floor. I mean, really, you could tell she had tried to sweep it up....but really....”

she wasn’t seeing all that was coming up ahead of her. And if the lighting wasn’t just perfect, she’d want to hold my hand, which was alright, but man!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

do our mending she had loved doing for years because she couldn’t any longer thread a needle. and, then it was she couldn’t read her TV guide, then some<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> The youngest daughter spoke next. “But what really got her was her friends! She wasn’t recognizing some of them when she was out. Then some of them stopped
calling her to go places and it really broke her heart when her bridge club stopped inviting her.”

sharp! But I think all this is impacting her mental health.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Gary Wunder, editor of the Braille Monitor, was our guest speaker. He joined the NFB when he was 16, and immediately started reading the Braille Monitor. It is available in Braille, print, and audio
on a flash drive, sent through the mail; as an HTML document, audio file, Word document, and podcast from the web; and through NFB Connect and Newsline. The most important role of the Braille Monitor is to tell people what is going on in the field of blindness,
and even more specifically, in our organization. He mentioned the many topics covered in this publication. The Braille Monitor is really the vehicle which gives us the ability to delve into issues in depth. Anyone who wants to begin receiving the Braille Monitor,
can either send an email to <a href="mailto:publications@nfb.org">publications@nfb.org</a>, give him their contact information and other things at the end of the call, or give that information to Robert, and he can give it to Gary. He encouraged us to write
contributions. He'd like to hear more from seniors about what it means to be a blind senior. Answers to questions included: He prefers articles in Microsoft Word, but will take them in any format. If we want it in a certain issue, he'd like it six weeks before.
He will edit where needed. There is no minimum or maximum length. Affiliates are asked, in alphabetical order, to submit three to six recipes. Chapters and divisions are welcome to submit them as well. Each submitter is asked to give a few lines about who
they are and why the recipe is special to them. Some questions and answers sparked philosophical discussions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
