Sure, Christine.  This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for:
a human relationship that has potential for  making the relevance and
hope afforded by Xavier Society seem within reach to my new friend
here.

Actually, my Mary would be best characterized as Munster Mary, since
her most recent home is in Munster, Indiana.  She has hung onto her
residence there in the hope that she will go back and live
independently in her original community after having attained
sufficient blind skills to make this feasible and safe.  For now, Mary
is residing in the home of her daughter Maureen, her son-in-law Tom,
and their six children here in Mishawaka.  With everything from a baby
to a teenager in their household, Mary is probably seldom in a place
of quiet but never in a place of boredom.

Please reach out to me privately as you take steps toward warming up
this connection.

Warm regards,
