In reply to virginia ann. Virginia Ann, I can't tell you the exact numbers for the incidence of congenital cataracts, but it is pretty rare. I hope your nephew is doing well.

It is interesting your son was born with a cataract, my nephew was born with one 17 years ago. I had never heard of it before then & this is the first time I’ve heard of it since, it must be very rare. I just found this site today I am enjoying it.

I loved your story! I had three daughters before having my son and he is a light in my life. They are so different than girls. Thanks for sharing your son’s story.

I am so happy you came over and commented on my facebook page so I could find out about your blog. What a beautiful post about a mother’s love for her son! I was just tearing up so much as I read this! It is so hard sometimes to watch your baby become a man but it is so rewarding to see the man he has become! I LOVE your blog. Your recipes are great!

In reply to Danny Taylor.

Thanks, Danny! I never knew you had a detached retina. You certainly can relate to Tyler’s situation. And, bless Grandaddy’s heart. He never once complained about his visual deficit. He rarely even mentioned it. He just accepted it and went on about his business.

I’ve got a whole write up about Granny and her blackberry cobblers. Blackberries are the one food that I most closely tie to my childhood. Happy memories!

Thanks for this enlightening informational blog on Tyler…I can relate to he’s problems as described as I had a retinal detachment in my left eye as did uncle Payton and two cataracts and suffer from the depth perception that plagues Tyler and most folks don’t understand as they have no idea what it’s about but that’s understandable. My hats off to Tyler and his striving to excel.
Aunt Virgina could make a mean black berry cobbler…such memories of the kitchen and good times. keep them coming!

In reply to Nayeli Arias.

Nayeli,

Thank you for writing to me. I wish the very best that life has to offer you and your family. I know you are in a place right now with your son being so young that it’s hard for you to imagine your son’s future. Just love him and be positive. Make sure that his “good” eye is protected but then let him lead a normal life. These kids are amazingly adaptable. I worried about my son’s safety, too. But, then again, I had concerns about the safety of my daughters and they had no visual deficits. Take care of yourself and your family. Please stay in touch.

Your post was very touching for me,I also have to girls (17 and 10) and my boy was also very expected. Your story give me more confidence that my son Xavi (2)will have the same chances that any other boy could have, my husband want to put him in every sport, and I have to admitted, it is very scary for me, because he also is blind from his PHPV right eye, and I’m terrified when I think in what would happen if he get hurt of his left eye. However, when I read posts about successful kids like yours, those fears start vanishing from my heart.
Thank you so much to share, Your family is an inspiration for parents like me.

Stopping by from Southern Mommas! What a great site!

It’s funny that you should post an entry with this title, it is one of my Dad’s favorite songs and I was just talking about it with a friend the other day!

That picture of your son playing to the babies is simply precious!

Looking forward to reading more. Recipe looks yummy!

Patty,

Bless your heart for being so gracious with your comments. Our family is truly blessed and I think I’m the most blessed one of the whole bunch! We have a wonderful life. I hope you will come back to visit us here and be a part of it , too!

Cobblers are just wonderful. My whole family is nuts over them. I made this recipe a tad different than I normally do. Same principal, just a little change up with the ingredients. Don’t ever stop making those cobblers!
