[Gary Brewer]

Hi Joyce,
  Id on't want you to ever think that I don't miss the joys of 
vision.  I just try to concentrate on the things i can do.  I know 
that day to day you deal well.  Somehow, i think the growing up part. 
The feelings of loosing your baby is what hurts so much.

Believe me, those kids are yours forever. I can tell that they love 
and care about you a lot. Even that little girl won't go 
far.  Afterall, you have attached to your heart.

Don't miss a minute of the planning. I always feel that being there 
is what works for me.  I didn't go to my Grand Daughter's photo shut 
for Senior pictures.  Those pictures won't mean as much to me. But my 
Ciera? She means more then a picture ever will.

My Daughter in law's Mom was late for the pictures before the 
wedding.  I got to Dress even my Daughter in law.  I feel bad for her 
Mom, well, just a little, but I will never forget the joy of putting 
that dress over her head.  She was beautiful and I know that first hand.
