[Nfbktad] Goodbye to the group

[Pamela Roark Glisson]

Hello April,

I was so excited to meet you at the open house and to learn about some of
your goals and dreams.  I regret so much that you are struggling and feeling
such despair.  I have been there too.  The people on this list and in the
Federation Family understands all that you are feeling and experiencing,
because we have all been where you are.  None of us do everything the same
way or use the same techniques or tools to accomplish the tasks and things
that we want to do.  We are your support and we can answer many of your
questions.  You do not have to feel hopeless, helpless and isolated.  I was
determined a long time ago and remain determined that my blindness will not
control who I am.  I have my family, friends and a long list of interests
that are greater than my blindness.  

Be encouraged today and know that you can accomplish your goals and dreams.
Call me if you like.  My cell # is (859)948-3663 and I am glad to be your
friend.  

 

Warmest regards, Pamela

Subject: [Nfbktad] Goodbye to the group

 

I am saying my goodbyes to the group.

I've never belonged anywhere.

 

Can't make it in the business setting because I can't join in gluten food
swaps.

Can't hold a job because I can't drive 25+ mile each way.

Can't hold a job because I can't physically function more than a few hours
each day.

 

Even writer don't want me because I can't visually recognize the difference
in a comma and period.

One I dreamed people cared, and wanted to help others succeed regardless of
difference.  

Instead, I have continuously found, when I reach out, that I am just a piece
of garbage to kicked on down the street, because I cannot do or be exactly
what another expects.

I understand it's important that everyone is able to do things exactly the
same way.  Since I cannot physically do so, I will no longer join in
conversations, make comments into my journey into the darkness, and I will
delete my subscriptions to all NFB groups.

I am not welcome here, and that is clear.

Have a good day,

 

April Brown
