[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 10179, member: 1746"] Not one of those "Great Shots" but has a special meaning to it. [ATTACH]991._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is a picture of one of my stepchildren, his name is Tyler he just graduated from Six grade to seventh in this photo. He is holding his certificate for making Honor Roll for 3 quarters (in a row) Now what makes Tyler and this photo so special is Tyler has "Lebers" along with "Retinitis Pigementosa" which has made him legally blind with an eye sight of 10/400. He watches TV 12 inches from the screen to see it. Everything he looks at has to be 6 inches or closer for him to see it with one eye.
