WHAT ARE THOSE LONG WHITE CANES?

This post goes to my mom's friend,ssergio. Barkout!
My mom became blind five years ago. At first, I did not understand what was going on. she could walk fast, drive and she also took me walking almost every day. I use to love seeing her put on her tennis shoes! It is watering tree time! Yeah! However, one day she started changing. she walked slowly and she was not the same. she stopped working and spent more time with me. Her left eye also became smaller. I don't understand. I do understand that she would bump into me. I also noticed I could steal food and she would not say anything. Although, I now understand that long, white canes are tools for the blind. It took me a while to learn about it. I think people with long, white canes are courageous. they don't stay at home and give up. they go on making their lives the best they can. I applaud that. I think you should, too!
