Young

When you are young you have no idea that one day you will be so incapacitated that you are totally dependent upon others for your life. I do not know what we would have thought had we known this when we were children. I do not suppose a child could comprehend this anyway.

To be so incapacitated is the most demeaning thing in the world. Being cut off from the rest of the world is the most horrible thing as well. Today this has really got to me. Usually in my day, I start off not too bad, and feeling quite bright and hopeful. However when it starts to become dark I too feel dark. I will have been on my bed all say, in the complete darkness, courtesy of my blindness, seeing no one and speaking to no one.

Today, it has been a sad day. I feel as if I am on a roller coaster of emotions. It is like climbing the hardest mountain ever. Every step is so hard and difficult. But we keep going. There is no choice. I must keep climbing that mountain.
