Hey man, even if it’s redundant, like you said, we all forget things over time. Appreciate what you can remember and do still makes life enriched. Love can’t be seen but if you feel it and get it from people, that’s something that many people who can see don’t have in life.
Thank you so much for sharing Mark. I became blind at the age of 27, I was robbed and shot in the face.. Now I’m 32 And I still remember how my wife looks, my loved ones and friends looks. The only thing that used to make me cry was not being able to see my son and my daughter.. Because my wife accepted to marry me as a blind person. But just like you said, I accepted my disability and I accepted not being able to see my own children so what I do is I create pictures of them in my head.. Thank you so much for sharing. It means a lot to me. My experience is quite similar with yours.
And I am so very sorry for your experience and what did happen. But I am so grateful you're still here with us and like you said, so grateful you've been able to embrace and accept who you are today. I'm also so happy for you to be building a family! and that's awesome that you've been able to see their energy and imagine them. When I do meet new people that I can't put a phase to I remember them by energies. Experiences we had things I remember them from, a sensation I get. But yes sir, our experiences are very similar. My vision loss, brain injury, was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. grateful I found mental health began to treat myself and share my experiences with others
@@markehlert979 thank you so much, Mark. i’m already forgetting some peoples faces though. and I remember your story that’s how I followed you. i’m presently in Canada. And I would really love to connect with you. if you don’t mind. can I have your email please. I feel you relate with my emotions, pain and experience.
@@tomidilluminator you're very welcome. I'm sorry if you're starting to also experience that memory loss. I'd like to share my email, but we are friends on Facebook, so you can talk to me there, or we can talk more in group if you want to or through Facebook
I know it's sound weird. I'm losing visual memory and I can see. The older I get the less I can remember vividly. I used to wake up and with in a 10 minutes window I could tell you what time it is. I'm losing my internal rhythm I guess. Anyway happy belated birthday
