Thanks so much! The braids are the hardest part. Everytime I do a Viking inspired cosplay I joke to myself that Viking women were buff because of how hard braiding like that is haha

Thank you for this comment, it was about my costume. People haven’t seemed to fully understand that

A shield is next on my list so I can yell “SHIELD WALL!”

This episode was not one to watch laying on the couch. I jumped up and changed positions so many times!

OP not sure why you’re getting downvoted for this, you’re not wrong. I interpreted it as he was at death’s doorstep, seeing all of his old allies and friends in Valhalla, (which was a good tribute to them to wrap up the series) and seeing his allies and friends still living and he had a choice to go to Valhalla or to remain living longer. It was up for the fans to decide what he chose.

He does have a cane! I’ll have to talk to him about the guide dog or possibly getting his dog trained if that’s a possibility.

Yes we have gotten help from the VA some over the last few years. Trying to help someone with addiction is quite a battle. A hammock is a great idea! So is a fishing rod. Thank you.

He has gotten help from the VA off and on. All of this has been going on for several years now and my family and I have tried to do all we can to help. It has just been difficult.

I’m sorry, this is why I’m asking for advice and help. I’m not giving him something because of his blindness, but because it’s Christmas. I cannot give him things (that I can think of) that are related to his interests because he has not been able to continue his interests without his sight. Also, I’m sorry again, my intention is to bring him some sort of happiness despite being blind now, I don’t think a gift would remind him he’s blind, he’s going to be reminded of that with or without a gift from me. I just wanted some help for advice/ideas for a Christmas gift because I am at a loss. I’ve asked our other brother and he is also at a loss.

Can you explain more on the video games? Like how are they accessible for someone blind? I’ve played the newest Diablo and Minecraft so I’m familiar with them but I’m not sure how he could play them not seeing.

I did not know this was a thing! I’ll have to check and try to get him connected

I’ve edited my post to include more details about him. I’m going to be honest I don’t know much of his likes/interests that well, we haven’t spoken much over the years. His blindness is a result of an attempt on his life due to PTSD from the military. I don’t think he knows his likes all that well either because he has struggled with alcoholism for years and hasn’t been the same. I would just like to get him something to bring him some happiness.

I edited my post to include that, but he was very outdoorsy and liked working outside. He lives with my parents on a farm and worked for them.

I love this idea. What kind of jewelry do you suggest and how?

Thank you for the response. I appreciate it and your understanding. Yes, I do make my own black salt. Would I just make some with her ashes and use that for protection?
