This is one of my most enjoyable times; going on a beach vacation with my mom. We have so much fun and she is literally my eyes. She helps me to negotiate buffets, crowded areas, hotel lobbies, and so on.
She describes so much to me; the scenery around us, people passing and walking, and the activity on the beach. We have so much fun together and she is never tired of describing, explaining, and helping. Some may say that this is all in a day's work for her because she is mom; but I never take anything for granted. Mom is my eyes! My guide! My best friend!
When we walk on the beach I kick my memory into high gear and imagine that I can see the rolling waves, the soft golden sand, the cloudless skies, plus more. I bring swaying trees into my mind's eye. Then I expand the picture with boats, surfers, and swimmers. Then I finish off the picture with sand castles, shells lying lazily on the beach, and sun tanners. O boy! What a joy!
I'm Donna J. Jodhan your friendly accessibility advocate wishing you a terrific day and inviting you to come and explore the world through the eyes of a blind person.
