Aren't children special, they see the world through innocent and rose coloured glasses, it is a shame that us adults do not retain this. This made me smile, keep the stories coming Sandy.

I have grandkids too.Two were born after my diagnosis so they will never know that I used to have 2 eyes that looked the same.Older ones never reacted to the change. Their acceptance puzzled but pleased me at the same time. It meant a lot to me. On a lighter note I mind the 8 month old once a week while my daughter plays netball and sometimes her 2 year old as well. The 2 year old never wants to go home .She loves going to Grandma's and loves going in Grandma's car . She can go into the creche at netball and did for a few weeks because she wanted to play with the kids. She told me she likes "kids and boys too".
