We built a world where blindness wasn’t a limitation.
Together, we turned our tiny living room into a workshop.

She smiled, her fingers working quickly.
“Got it!”
Clara looked up from her own project. “Dad, do you think we’re good enough to sell these?”
Lauren stood there like a ghost I’d buried 18 years ago.
I looked at the gowns they’d created… intricate, beautiful, made with more love than any designer label could ever hold.
