A family friend has a daughter about five years younger than Rebecca. When this little girl was about six, she evidently began to think about Rebecca's blindness in practical terms. A big smile spread over Helen's face and she looked relieved. Apparently, it had bothered her quite a bit that Becca might not be able to eat without lots of trouble. But no, finding your mouth is not a problem.
Kids think about the most interesting things and ask the best questions.
One day, I had to pick up Becca early to go to an appointment. We had worked out a system whereby I parked at the end of the drive nearest a side door. That day, she appeared on time, backpack over one shoulder, white cane in the other hand. She had to come down a short paved path and make a 90 degree turn onto the drive, a route she travelled regularly. But for some reason, this day, she made her turn a few steps early.
