What must be shared
Communication has been devalued in our society. Even though I think about tele-commuting as a way to communicate, face to face meeting is so much better and closeness is important. We have become a much more individualistic society. Again, what are the lives of disabled people worth? People try to imagine how I raised my son, and I relied on phone calling or asking people who I ran across or met at school, or wherever I was about doctors, or Day Care center possibilities, or looking into options. We all need to rely on others. I also listened to the radio. Radio was so much a part of blind people's lives, more than television. Koraling Lynne
