"Do you remember," Father Mulcahy penned in that first letter, written in careful, tiny script, "What it was like to lose your sight, Hawkeye?"
He wasted no time in answering. "Yes, I do. I was helpless, vulnerable, and thrown into a new world that wasn't too all together unpleasant. I experienced sensations I never will again. It was terrible and wonderful, beautiful and ugly, all at once." Hawkeye sent the letter off that very day.
"I imagine," Father Mulcahy's response came five days later, "That in that respect blind and deaf are much the same."
They never mentioned it again.
