@56tburd So many of us have been in similar circumstances. We have dreams, plans, and then life throws us a curve ball. So we may need to adjust those ideas to what we can do. I have often reflected on what I had dreamt to do, and how that won't be possible now.
You're right, life isn't often fair, but it allows us to broaden our focus and perhaps do things we hadn't considered. What are your granddaughter's dreams?

@gingerw, I have to assume she has the same as most kids, but her ability to express them hasn't developed. While she is able to voice discernable words with great difficulty, for the most part, she is non-communicative beyond basic needs. She often surprises us with short sentences out of the blue. Partially blind and with scarce fine motor control, the most basic of tasks are beyond her abilities. That said, she is the bravest of people I know. She is ready to explore new adventures with courage and enthusiasm. I'm not biased at all.
