sometimes I go to a gathering of people with disabilities for a lunch and 
some activities.  Last Friday they offered materials to make a Father’s Day 
card.  Each participant received a long narrow chocolate bar, and a set of 
paper cutouts for making the character of a hero, including a cape, to glue 
on the wrapper.  On a strip we were to fill in the sentence like, “My Father 
is a hero because—“, and maybe on another strip we could write a more 
personal message.  One important thing I remember about my dad is that he 
provided many of the special equipment for a blind and hearing impaired 
person to learn and succeed, including higher technology like some of my 
computers.  Although he was an older  conservative farmer, he even started 
getting computers for himself.

But because I live with a couple in a certified family home, I want to make 
a card for the husband, especially since they’ve never had children.  I want 
to use my braille writer to make a picture of an elephant, following a 
pattern in a book of instructions for drawing with the Perkins brailler, and 
write something like, “I know I’’m too big to fit in your house, but may I 
stay in your backyard with your goats and chickens?”  I got the idea from a 
Mother’s day card with a picture of an elephant who said, “If you weren’t my 
mother, I’d follow you home and ask you to keep me.”
