I will finish up by saying that when Carol spoke last year at the Joint Committee on Health and Children she said:

Those of us with deafblindness are not invisible. I ask committee members in earnest to positively consider our request to have deafblindness recognised as a unique disability. Please open the doors that will allow us to live and fully participate in this beautiful world alongside them.

Carol emotionally tells me that that her reason for living and to keep going in society is the beauty and personality of the cherished gift that is her eight year old daughter.
