Hi all, I have recently written the below story and hope you will enjoy reading it? I found it difficult to accept my sight and hearing loss, but I thank God for every new day and accept it as a challenge to learn something new and wonderful! Life Is Fun and I enjoy living and all those little milestones along the journey. Did you ever cross a brook using steppingstones? I did, my dad put them down for me and told me (when I was 9) that this is what life was to be like, and I had to be careful not to land in the waters as some would be too deep without boots on! I often think of my dad and how he helped me to accept my sight loss. One day he helped me climb a big style so we could pick the mushrooms on the other side. It wasn't easy as there were huge nettles underneath and I had to be very careful. Dad chatted to me once we were in that big field with those beautiful mushrooms and cows with the big pats they had left behind which we had to keep stepping over. He said it was another example of life, how when we are enjoying ourselves there will always be those who like to place problems in our way to try to stop us having fun! Suddenly we realized there was a big bull amongst those cows and he was coming toward us with his head down. We were Terrified and dad told me to take off my red jumper and push it under my t-shirt as red made bulls crazy! Dad and I hurriedly clamboured back over that style and the nettles never seemed to bother me as I hastily clambered for safety! Dad told me life was going to be like that, as it was for him, and I would find things I didn't like so I would just have to get out of the way and watch the pats that others had left along the way. I always think of his words when life gets a bit too hard to bear. Thank you for reading, Christine W.
