World Sight Day

Today is World Sight Day

Please take just 1 minute & close your eyes. Experience darkness during the daytime when you are wide awake going about your business. Be blind for 1 minute. Recognize that some people can only see lights or shadows or have limited fields of vision. There are many types of sight; but none compares to healthy vision & having full sight. Today, celebrate your sight. It is a wonderful amazing thing.

I am so proud of your daughter Finley, for being so brave and resiliant for tackeling her blindness and eachday in her life with LCA.
From what I can see from your family's blog and your RDH12 Sight foundation web page, Finley seems so bright and such a sweetheart.

''God Bless you all!''
