See

I am slowly going blind. It's tough to face that but I am, probably in ten years or less. Today at work someone snuck up on me. She even said she knew I didn't see her. She didn't mean to be cruel as i don't think she has a mean bone in her body. She just thought it was funny to startle me. I laughed it off by saying you shouldn't scare someone with a heart condition but inside i just wanted to cry.

Handicapped and disabled people are mocked all the time. It wasn't the first time my disability was the butt of a joke and it won't be the last. When I make fun of it though I am laughing with you, when someone else does I am being laughed at. People need to think.
