Prayers and best wishes for a new dog.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. 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.

Good evening Federation family. About a month ago, I wrote to introduce you
all to my amazing new guide dog, Lester. At 8:30 AM yesterday, I held her
leash for the last time. We had some incidents and problems that the field
rep and foundation could not ignore. Although Lester was an incredible
guide, my Safety must come first, and her dog distraction problems were
causing my Safety to be of concern. She will forever and always be my first
guide dog, and I am truly devastated to lose her. She will always be my
first guide dog. She will always have my heart. Prayers are appreciated as I
prepare, grieve, and wait for my next Guide and companion. 

Blessings,

Sadie M. McFarland
