This morning we slept in and were laying in bed not wanting to get up. I was trying to have a conversation with the man in my bed (to clarify, it was my husband) and was getting no response. I knew he was awake.
Sister Rain: "Why aren't you talking to me?"
Mr. Sister Rain: "I'm checking my Twitter."
In October we will be married for 20 years.
For richer or poorer.
In sickness and in health.
In technology and in electronics . . .

Without warning, I wake up blind in my right eye. The next morning I wake up blind in my left eye.
I have regained some sight but remain legally blind. I don't see most colors, I am unable to drive and I have lost my career.
I had written this blog before I got sick. I started it when I was job searching during the financial crisis.
Now I'm searching again. But now it's not only for a job, but for what my new life will look like. Ironic, isn't it?
ON OUR WAY TO MEET HIS NEW BOSS, MY HUSBAND ASKS IF I'M NERVOUS.
I REPLY, "I WOKE UP BLIND ONE MORNING. NERVOUS GOES AWAY AFTER THAT."

WHO AM I?
A wife, bird mom and friend, learning to navigate life after suddenly becoming visually challenged.
