The wonderful gift of true friendship
True friendship is something I have only come to properly understand very recently. I am not an easy person to be friends with: I am opinionated and rarely keep my opinions to myself. I am demanding of both myself and those around me and when I feel passionately about something, those demands can be relentless.
One visually impaired girl’s take on the whole meaning of Christmas
Here we are, in the thick of the holiday season. Three days to go until Christmas and people are running around like headless chickens trying to find that perfect gift for that special person and fretting about that not very special relative that they feel obliged to spend Christmas day with.
Real friends are constant, whatever the circumstance. Acquaintances, not so much.
In the year or so since I registered blind, I have certainly found out a lot about myself and even more about my 'friends'.
