For all the years I knew my grandma, she could barely see. Grandma was legally blind, and yet she knew, by feel, the location of

every dish in her kitchen and every work of literature on the bookcase in the living room. I remember especially the bird-like way she peered at things. I'd bring her a copy of my latest school picture, and she'd hold the photo an inch or two from her face, tilt her head to one side, and inspect it before saying, "Very pretty."
