One of my worst fears is becoming blind. My biological father is blind due to diabetes, and I've had glasses since the second grade. I always thought, out of all the five senses, vision is the cream-of-the-crop one. I'd rather perish than live without sight.
However -- after reading this piece, and learning all about your beloved Mimi and her attitude about her weakening sight, I feel less afraid.
It was lovely when she held back to let the elderly, grumpy man vent, even though her plight was greater.
Not everyone wants a solution, they simply wish to be heard. Mimi is terrific!
