Remembering the toys

I can probably be described as someone who simply lives for those toys! Ah yes, toys that I played with as a child. In comparison to now, they were simple toys, no technology involved, no electronics. Yes, I did not grow up in the age of technology and to many this may probably date me but that's just fine.

In many ways, my toys were no different from those that sighted kids played with. Dolls, tea sets, bats and balls, marbles, teddy bears, and puzzles. Blind kids of today may probably not have the same equality of playing toys but that was my world.

I always enjoyed looking at the colors of my toys. I loved to match them up by color and each color was so special to me. I always preferred the brighter colors as I could see them much more clearly. I also enjoyed toys that were big in size but on the whole, size did not really make too much of a difference to me.

Ah yes! Toys, toys! What would my world be without them?
