The majority of people associate complete – or total – blindness with absolute darkness. All I knew was that although I could not tell how people or things looked, I could still distinguish between light and dark.
This was when I was a small child, so I really did not know how to explain what I could see or how that was possible. I remember many instances when family, friends and even teachers were shocked to find out I could actually tell when lights were turned on or off.
