Mind Blown

Well, well, never say never! Before Tyler went blind, he was an avid gamer. All the game systems, plus coding. Today he asked me to bring up an oldie that he played on game cube and put on the computer, Paper Mario. Since his voice reader doesn’t work with a game, I was the reader and gave directions. I am directional and gaming challenged. However, he told me what to look for so he could navigate through it. He then proceeded to continually level up and beat every challenge! Completely friggen blind! I am dumb struck and in complete shock! There is nothing in this world you can not do, you will never be able to say “ I can’t” to me again. I am still riding the high of that adventure!

Obstacles my butt! Perseverance, check! I am forever changed, he knew where the save boxes were, the coins, key, secret powers, and even where to go to get his money back when Mario was robbed. Maybe this means zero things to some people, but for me… Damn! The amount of obstacles he has been dealt, he navigates the house and yard like a pro. He rearranges his room, he is clean, everything has a place, he looks after the pets and manages his diabetes. Not sure I could do what he does! I am proud!

He looks seventeen, but he will be thirty this year, what the?I always see amazing things in my children, growth every year, inside and out. Little flowers that I grew, but you are in it. To stand back and really look without the Momma curve… Holy shit my kids are grown! Amazing people that have honest traits and accomplishments that I absolutely proud of! What a garden that has grown! I didn’t do it, they did. They roll up their sleeves and work hard, couldn’t ask for anything more💗
