So I'm going blind...

[gollum]

I am sorry to hear this and i wish you the best for going through it if indeed it does happen; it certainly won't be easy.

It may sound strange, but in a way it will open up a whole new world to you, as you won't be relying on appearances as much to communicate with others and most importantly with yourself. You'll listen to your thuoghts, and so thought patterns more through it and come to know your self and others better. Having to put up with all the regret feelings and comparing yourself to others sobconsciously "why did it had to happen to me?!", "if i could only see!" etc will also teach you a lot if you make yourself open to receive the teaching that facing up to circumstances you can't possibly alter gives.

And not as wishful thinking, i would add, but real value.

Courage and good luck.
