    I met Freedom and her mum at a blind and low vision assessment week in Auckland about 8 years ago. I’m so glad to hear she’s doing well and still living life to the fullest 🙂

    Freedom...you are an amazing young woman...and driving too...which blew me the hell away! I come from a family of seven brothers and a sister, whom like your family, is very supportive and loving in all that we do. Many families who have been devastated by disabling medical and challenging physical obstacles have been "broken." I'm so happy your family bond hasn't let this effect you and all, in keeping the normalcy and LOVE that is FAMILY! So proud of all your accomplishments and goals in life. God Bless You & your beautiful Family. Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey.

    I feel terrible. She's a cancer survivor like me, but lost both of her sight in each eye to cancer and can cook a whole meal, etc. I have both sight in my eyes and I can't cook, isn't the best driver, complains about the littlest things in life, etc. Freedom truly is a motivation for me to try harder at things and to stop complaining.

    The ending is great. I used to paint and lost touch with it, when she said she lost touch with music but that she'd get back to it one day I really related to that. Stringing that guitar and playing it had so much power to it. Keep going girl, not for anyone else but for you. 💖
