HI Ron,
You are such an inspiration with how strong you are with what you've been through already. I do hope that your eyes heal much better than anticipated. Your words on this message board have shown us all your humor, your bravery, your sensitivity, and your strength. I do not think I could meet your challenges as well as you have. I admire you, and hope that I get to meet you, and your wonderful dog one day at a woodcarving show.
I told my husband about your incident, and his reaction was as if he knew you personally as well. We are all pulling for you to see again.
Take care,
Thor / Christina

Ron I have to tell you, that my whole life I have used this and I dont think I will ever use it again. When I did taxidermy, or woodcarving or home repairs. If I made a small mistake I would always say "A blind man would be happy to see that." I never ever thought how terrible that must have sounded until I started corresponding with you. It must be a terrible thing and very scary not to be able to see your way round in this world. We are all pulling for you Ron you are a much braver man that me. I tried to carve with a blindfold on just to get some insite to what you must go through. I couldnt do it, you are one special person and my inspiration for a lot of things in this world and I consider you a true friend.
Colin
