I have had my eye condition since I was about 5 years old, I always had thick glasses. I was endlessly teased in school by my classmates, and now over 20 years later when they find out that I am losing my vision they say "sorry" for being mean to me as a kids, this surprises me, because I think they just feel sorry for me. I am not ever sure it is a sincere apology. So I graciously accept it.
Even though I am losing my sight, I do not let it stop me from doing anything, I am working on getting my associates degree...and I love to quilt, spend time with my family.
So please do not feel sorry for me. I do not want your pity,,,,,,,
