Today was graduation from Vision Loss Resources. It felt strange and melancholy to me, though I think I hid it well. I've spent six months going there nearly every day, and now it's over.

It felt odd listening to all the counselors and teachers talk about how much they enjoyed having me around, or what a good student I was, how much fun it was to work with me, or how I always helped the other clients in anyway I could manage. It's hard for me to take a compliment, I never feel like I really deserve it. But I smiled, and joked, and was gracious, because I know they really meant what they said, and it means a lot to me. I'd like to think that not only did I take away so much, but that I gave something in return.

I know I'll be back. There was a large group of us that came in together, and I plan to be there when they graduate. I might even do some volunteer work for the community outreach program, or join the dart league (blind people throwing sharp pointy objects. It doesn't get any better).

I know I'll miss VLR. I'd like to think I'll be missed in return.

Now on to the rest of my life, whatever that may be.

In Deep Peace
Michael
