Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

>> I could be content with walking by your side and so very happy just to have you in the same room with me.  Is it too much to ask that at this point in
>> our relationship, you'd try to at least hold me a little more, a little longer?
>> 
>> Remember when you were sick and no one came around?
>> 
>> Who was it that stayed by your side even though there was little I could do but worry?
>> 
>> You know I'd wait for you forever.
>> 
>> Like that time when you went away and told me that I had to stay here because you were traveling on business?
>> 
>> I hated to see you go.
>> 
>> It's been years since we went anywhere together, still I was so happy to see you when you came home.  I waited up all night just to see you walk through
>> that door.
>> 
>> You barely acknowledged me.  Not even a smile.
>> 
>> I remember how playful we were when we first met, too.
>> 
>> I clearly remember how we'd stay in bed together all day through those cold winter storms.  Oh, yes and how you held me close wen the summer brought its
>> thunder and lightening.  You knew how much I hated that.
>> 
>> We've been though many storms in life haven't we?
>> 
>> Now, when I get close to you, you push me away.
>> 
>> "I've got work to do!" you shout.  I go off to the living room and sit by myself as the television flickers through the night.
>> 
>> Maybe you were just under a lot of pressure that day when you told me that I was more trouble than I was worth.
>> 
>> How things change.
>> 
>> It's not what you said when we first met.
>> 
>> "It was love at first sight," is what you told everyone.
>> 
>> It's not so much the words but your tone of voice that bothers me most.  You use that same voice with me more and more these days.
>> 
>> I'm always here for you even though it's obvious I no longer bring you as much joy and pleasure as I once did.
>> 
>> Still, sit with me now.  Don't leave me behind. You have no idea what a little attention would do for me.
>> 
>> Sit and talk with me, too.  Yes, you're the big business person now and you think I don't understand.  Perhaps not, but I do understand love and kindness.
>> I do understand our time together is limited, too.
>> 
>> Maybe you don't.
>> 
>> Look closer. Look into my eyes and you will see.  There is pain there.  There is hurt and loneliness.   You just don't understand.
>> 
>> I can't explain what is happening to me, but I know I need you more than ever.
>> 
>> I'll just sit over here out of your way in the corner like I always do and watch your every move.
>> 
>> You are quick to remind me that I am getting old but I don't even know what that means.
>> 
>> Please, please understand that I am not "just the dog"...I am your best friend.
>> 
>> Slow down and sit with me awhile before it's all too late. Before I must go ahead "on a walk without you."
>> 
>> Love, forever yours!
>> 
>> (Go ahead, go tell them you love them now  Sit, Stay.)
