My paternal grandparents had macular degeneration--one dry, one wet, though I don't remember which one had which. My dad succumbed to kidney cancer at age 65, so his vision never deteriorated to that point--he only needed reading glasses on occasion. I am fortunate enough to have inherited his good vision, but being in my early 40s, I fully expect that I'll need readers within the next decade. I just hope that's the worst my vision will get.
Both my husband's and my sides of the family have had a lot of loss in the last 7-plus years. Relatedly, Chidi's monologue from The Good Place series finale really moved me, especially in light of all that. It moved me so much, last year, I got a tattoo of an ocean wave on my upper back below my neck with the words "The wave returns to the ocean" around it. As a cradle Catholic-turned-atheist who doesn't believe in an afterlife, that explanation for what happens after you die made the most sense to me out of anything I'd ever heard.
This was very much needed for reasons I won't bore anyone else with. But thank you, Sara.
