Writings about Ataxia, being DeafBlind, family life. The best life can offer!


Craig’s WD #13

Today’s word of the day is…

Triskaidekaphobia

A fear or avoidance of the number 13.

But really, how can one avoid 13?

My son is 13, he has no fear of anything!

It is impossible to avoid 13 in today’s society!

Luckily for us, the next thirteenth year will be in 2113, we’ll be distant memories… will my blogs still exist then? Who is to say?

Have a good one!
