   Braille is literacy, it is freedom and independence and for Deafblind folks like me, braille is life. Braille is beautiful and as a Deafblind synesthete braille comes alive under my hands with colors, tastes, scents and textures. Braille allows me to have private independent access to everything from bank statement to shopping. Braille, Tactile ASL, and my service dogs are my links to the world and I am grateful that all of them exist. (2/2)

     It's World Braille Day. Usually I'm not a big proponent of "insert name day" kinds of events because I think they are silly. Recently though I saw a post from someone in our blind community no less, saying braille was useless and that blind children didn't need to learn it. Braille is not useless, or obsolete, in as much as print is. Would sighted folks give up reading and writing in exchange for talking computers? Because thats what people who don't support braille propose. (1/2)
