Charlie, age six, was born blind. The following prompt elicited a discussion, of sorts, over several days... I am his Gramma and his mother has given us permission to submit this. Charlie, can you think of how you have changed since lockdown? I became a big brother. I was so, so scared when Mommy went into the hospital, I didn't want her to go because of the virus. I got to stay at Gramma's but I was still upset and worried. Then, when Gramma got the phone call to say Tommy had been born and Mommy was fine, I was so happy! Even though Gramma was happy crying she called Blacketyside (a local farm shop) and ordered a carrot cake and a chocolate cake for us to celebrate. We drove down and then Gramma put on a mask and met someone outside. They gave her the cakes and strawberries!! We wiped everything down and sat and ate the whole chocolate fudge cake in the car! Without any forks! It was amazing! Now, whenever I need a happy boost, Gramma gets me one of those cakes. And sometimes, I feel so shattered, I need a chocolate cake because my battery is down. I have learned how to be a great big brother. I love Tommy but sometimes he cries a lot. I am the only one who can sing him to sleep when he is crying. I sing, "Posh [sic] Little Baby don't say a word, Momma's gonna buy you a mockingbird..." He loves that song and ALWAYS falls asleep. I am magic that way. Daddy has started to go back to work. I don't like it, but he says he is safe. He can be a big fly and annoy me by buzzing me, but I don't want him to get sick. When he is working, Mommy sometimes works with me on my Braille. I have a Brailler at home and I have just learned letter "T". Gramma wants to get me a fancy Braille machine, but the school says not yet. My auntie is going back to work and that makes me sad. I don't want her to get sick either because I love her. She has taught me all about music and I love talking with her and Gramma on the phone if we can't see each other. I do want to go to school. I will be in Primary 2, but I don't want to get the virus either. My new teacher loves to sing and I asked her if we could start a choir and she said "Yes!" That would be fun. Gramma bought me magnetic building blocks before my tonsil surgery last year and she keeps adding to my collection. I love to build rescue centers and am learning about birds right now. Gramma said a Condor was recorded flying for one hundred miles without flapping its wings once! Other than to start flying away and to land, I mean. I wonder if a condor could fly to heaven and see Grandad and tell him I miss him? Is Heaven a hundred miles away? I miss him so much. I want an angel for my birthday to be able to go see him. Is that possible?
