I agree that on top of her major disability, that she was raised by a blind mother. It makes it all that more incredible.

While this is not as severe as missing limbs, one of my younger daughter’s very close friends in college in her BFA in Musical Theater program, is paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair. She is wonderfully talented in musical theater. I have seen her in several musicals already and she also is in professional ones. She also gets around NYC on her own as this is not a regular college campus. My D is thrilled that a professional degree program like hers admitted this young woman and that the theater world is casting her. Every time I see her perform, I am in awe.
