Don’t Miss It

I have worn glasses since the third grade. When I was finally prescribed glasses, I met the standards for being legally blind. So I appreciate seeing clearly. Seeing for most of us is just what we do without thinking. Easy and effortless, no?  Every night my husband Gary and I have a nighttime routine.
