One of the ladies explained how both of her eyes were completely fine until her vision in one eye started to become a little weary. She went to multiple doctor appointments in which she was told that she would eventually lose all sight in her left eye. With her strong faith, she still had hope and believed that she would keep her vision in her eye but sooner than she knew it, she had lost it completely, within months. As she went on, she began to speak about her family. As the conversation progressed, I learned that all seven of her children have perfect eye sight in both eyes but one of her granddaughters was born blind in one eye. Although she expressed some disappointment about her granddaughter having to go through and experience what she had to, she stressed how happy she was that she still has the ability to drive and perform daily activities to fulfill her needs.
