A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband. ~Michel de Montaigne, Essays
This quote has me so upset! Why? Call it the analyst in me, the worrier, the compassionate :-( I am sure the quote was written in jest, and well, of course I had to try and analyse it! I am trying to put myself in this situation. I can hear him moving but cannot see him, how do I find him, I could yell, but he would not hear.
He can see me but not speak clearly to me. I can hear but not pass on news or information if I cannot see to write it to him (well just use a lot of paper if I go blind at this stage of life) :-( Please God never let me lose my sight! I know it's just a quote, but oh my god, what a mind burn. I gave Dave an extra big hug and kiss tonight.
I saw the Oprah show recently with the Mum of the worlds only deaf and blind triplets. I can't stop thinking about her or the lives of those poor little girls. I gave the girls an extra big hug and kiss that afternoon.
