It was simply awesome, the whole show. And the family was wonderful

too. Not at all sappy, just himan. Poor Stefan, I dont think he

comprehended what happened to him. LOL Lance got a BN, coolies, I missed a

little, there was so much going on. I dont think he needed GPS. LOL The

hosue looked gorgeous too. Amazing what they did to it. I got a kick out

of the woman when she saw the demolition.

I've been reading posts from other blind people who saw the show. Would you

believe that some people thought the show negatively portrayed blindness?

One person was annoyed at how often this family was called amazing. Well,

considering how many years they spent living in a home that was not safe,

they *were* amazing. Another person thought the designer who started crying

after removing her blindfold was overreacting and couldn't begin to

understand what blindness was like for Lance. Anything to criticize I guess.

I plan to e-mail ABC to say " thanks " and to express just how much I enjoyed

the show. For once it was nice to see a television show portray several

disabilities (deafness, autism and blindness) in a positive way.

The problem people have is, why them why not me? Why do I have to fight

for even the basic things I need to live my life?

Well, this family got way more than most people would expect. They got

it ALL, in one short week. But then, how long did they go without just to

keep their family alive and healthy?

Many people who are not disabled dont have a clue but when they get a

taste of it, either they poo poo it or they realize what its like for us. I

rather they cry afterwards because hey, they got an idea of it.

Now if only this kind of thing was every day. I enjoyed watching this

family. Society needs to realize that we get emotional because we have to

fight so damn hard to get what we need. I am not talking about handouts or

Come one come all, get what you want. I'm talking about we just want to be

at the place where we can have our needs met without a second thought so we

can be productive.

Definitely, we need to see much more like this not the tripe that floods

the airwaves.
