Easy/Lucky/Free

This article was found in the Buffalo News December 10th. The article is about a woman named Patricia A. Stanton who is 65 years old and could not see until October of this year, when she had a corneal transplant.
The article goes on to talk about her life and having to raise 12 children and her husband dieing. It also gives statistics about corneal transplants.
The entire time I was reading this I just wonder how her life was. In today's society we depend on what we see and absorb that into our life. Seeing is what makes most of our judgment's. But to not be abel to see at all which means she wasn't as exposed to everything we are... She really took life for what it was. Many people take what were given for granted and think it is always going to be there.
I know her surgery was a big thing for their family and herself, but the way I interpreted that article was... that it was for pity.
Granted life is hard... But I don't think it would be much harder if you were blind. Perhaps im wrong becuase i havent been in the situation. Not being abel to see would almost be a relief. So much happens in one day and half of it you wish you never saw.
