When blindness seemed to shut the door on both marriage and a career in theater, I began to picture and pursue what a fulfilling life might look like without eyesight or a family. I figured a combo of adaptive technology and tenacity could bring me though graduate school and out the other side to teach at my alma mater. At the very start of this bootstrapping adventure, by way of blessedly meddlesome friends, the Lord dropped the man who would become my husband right into my path and set us off together on an entirely unexpected adventure.

Being blind hasn’t stopped me from trying to picture a perfect home.
