Sad Day

My buddy (who is 86) is depressed.  She has always been the most upbeat person, No Matter What. So it is especially hard to see her this way.  But she is losing her eyesight. She says she's too old to cope with blindness.  So she just stares into the darkness.  I talk to her and read the paper to her... once in a while I see a spark, but mostly... I don't think she's there... not really.  So sad..............
