I was always the linchpin in the house, dancing and singing in the living room, but when I had to go home with the message that I am blind for good, my world came crashing down. It was a disaster. I was sad, angry, disappointed and depressed.” His life came to a standstill, while the depression worsened. “Eventually I realized that something had to change. If I have to last another twenty-five years, it couldn’t go on like this. Doing nothing is poison for myself, and for my environment. My wife, children and grandchildren do not deserve that.”
Artist and designer Peter went blind and reinvented himself as a writer
