“…Eyeballs…” book II: 21. And More Questions

Hey! You Got Eyeballs In There?

By Kate Chamberlin

As Grace grows up, some of her stories are happy, some trying, some enlightening, and a few themes are sad, but, they’re all the warp and woof of what goes into the tapestry of life we call Family. The daily living skills and techniques demonstrated by the fictional characters in these stories are valid, tried and true.

“You don’t look blind. I thought all blind people wore those little round, black glasses. Why do you wear aviator glasses?’ Connor asked.

“People like to look into the other person’s eyes when they talk,” Grace replied. “This way it’s more like talking to themselves!”

“Why wear glasses at all, if you can’t see,” Nancy said. “I hate wearing glasses.”

“They keep my face from getting poked, if Crackers misses taking me around a low branch or something,” Grace said easily with a smile in her voice.

Grace didn’t mind answering their many questions about Crackers and how she did what. She knew that the more the people around her understood how she and Crackers worked as a team and what was helpful, meant that she would be safer and more relaxed in public.

“If we want to be ready for the dance tonight,” Edie said, “we need to get home.”

The time had flown by and Grace was looking forward to the Homecoming Dance.
