The moon has risen signalling the end to a great day. Our youngest just had another birthday, and this time it was more of an open house. With the varied schedules in our family, setting things in stone can not always work. Hubby and I wanted to host weekly dinners but even that is a bit to hard to accommodate everyone. For my son, it was perfect, the right amount of people varied within the day. Even had a pre visit and will have some more tomorrow. He was elated, messages and well wishes, were well received.

Being part of the medical community since he was three with diabetes and now blindness, he has friends in all his corners. His eye doctor, refers to us as part of her team. He is warmly received and told he is a big deal in her office. He received a personal card from his dental office, with a note from each person in the office, it showed their appreciation of his ability to shine bright through the cards he has been dealt. The parade of friends and family coming through today had his heart overflowing with happiness.

In his new life of darkness, having people around really brings him to life. I can’t imagine the disconnect he must feel without vision. Without people to hear, he really is alone. He is now everyone’s cheerleader. He hears really well and is not shy to interject his words of encouragement for whomever may need it. He is so positive and the few times he has been really low, just about kills us. I wish everyday gives him as much joy he had today!
