Audrey, my niece, was diagnosed with nystagmus when she was eight weeks old; she also has myopic degeneration and albinism in both eyes. Michelle, my wife, and I set a goal to take Audrey to Europe (London, Paris, and my home in the Loire Valley) to experience and see as much as possible before her eyesight deteriorated any further. This a chronicle of that journey.



I had no idea that spending one month with a 7-year-old child would have such a profound effect on me, but it changed my life forever. My heart is stretched in every direction. I am deeply touched by the interactions she had with my wife and I.
