These anniversary days can be rough. I remember clearly that call about
Monica. You are right about the importance of children and the blessing that
they can be. Let us count those blessings.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise
expectations for blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and their dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
