[Blindtlk] Advice for blind dads?

[T. Joseph Carter]

I am not yet a father, and I'm often described as a bit traditional 
in such matters, but I think that perhaps it is because the 
traditions are good ones in this respect:

It seems to me that if one is a good man, a good husband to his wife, 
loves his children, and shows them the same firmness in values and 
respect he expects them to learn, he will naturally tend to be a good 
father.  I don't think blindness enters the picture there too much.  
I think it's more about the example you set for your children.

A child's first role models are parents, and I believe it takes two 
good parents to give children the best shot at turning out okay in a 
world that seems to have gone crazy.
