Like I had said, Riley was just recently fully blind.  His sight had been going for some time but he went into total darkness the November before we met.  He had been to The School For The Blind out in Co to learn independant living skills and how to deal with it, so he could take care of him self very well.  He has a big pride issue where he does not like to ask for help for anyting, he would rather starve first then to ask for food or walk into a wall before having some one tell him where to go.  He was kinda a know it all lol but I sitll love him. Sometimes it's hard being younger than him, cuz of my age I know he doesnt think much of what I say about some things. But we talk freely about things and playfuly smack (verbal) each other around.  Keeping eachother in check and just having fun reading the Bible and spending time with each other.  I fully belive God is going to one day heal his sight.  There have been some times when he has seen glimpses here and there, where the docs say its phicosymatic, but He has never seen Sophia, yet he could describe in detail what she was wearing and what she looked like.  BTW Sophia is one of his faves. he loves her to no end cuz she will just climb up into his lap and love on him and play with him.  But he loves all my kids.  He even taught Annie how to read some brail and she loves it that she knows something like that.  Well at the end of last summer he decieded he wanted to go back to school and learn about computers and some more advanced independant living things.  So tearfuly we said see you later as he left for Littleton CO.  He knows ppl there too so it wasnt going to be so lonely for him, plus the school is suposed to be real good.  He has been back for Thanksgiving and Christmass so its not like we havnt got to see him and we talk on the phone, not as often as I would like but we keep intouch.  He has had some other health issues and so he had been planning to come home over Easter so he could see his doctors here.  We have been excited about that.  More later..
