My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other
36 , including her “sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression she’s
37 anything.
Michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us,
38 that she doesn’t push too hard on them,
39 really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house. She moves around so fast that often
40 don’t realize she’s blind.
I
41 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very
42 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was
43 excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. "I learned how to
44 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle
45 with us.
To my great
46 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend!
Then Kayla continued, “Michelle told me my
47 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. She really
48 what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt
49 Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never
50 in conversation.When I told her, she was
51 for a moment. At first, she didn’t believe me. “But Mommy, Michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla
52 . And I knew my child was
53 because Michelle had listened to Kayla describe her artwork. Michelle had also heard Kayla's
54 in her work,We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my
55 .”
Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
