1 No matter. Mama told me I was leaving, so I was leaving. End of discussion. I had a couple of months to get used to that idea, and during this last period at home I was treated the same as a normal child. Fact is, I was made to do the same chores I had done when I could see. 2 Mama was a country woman with a whole lot of common sense. She understood what most of our neighbors didn’t - that I shouldn’t grow dependent on anyone except myself. “One of these days I ain’t gonna be here,” she kept hammering inside my head. Meanwhile, she had me scrub floors, chop wood, wash clothes, and play outside like all the other kids. She made sure I could wash and dress myself. And her discipline didn’t stop just ‘cause I was blind. She wasn’t about to let me get away with any foolishness.
