I know it took me a while to post this. That was because I was backing up Brandon's website and his youtube videos. He didn't think much about preserving what he had already done, always the next thing. I could use your help my friends. Thank you <3

Thank you for sharing all of your stories and love. I know somewhere @superblindman is seeing all this and he is smiling knowing he has and is making a difference. I'm sure he also misses you all. You have helped me a lot today. I know grieving is a process. Gotta feel it out

I gotta be strong for Ana cat and Raspberry dog. Raspberry only knew brandon for 2 days but she knew he was sick and she stayed by his side until he went to the hospital. I gotta be strong for the accessibility community especially the blind community. But for now rest.

It's funny. Brandon was really yin to my yang in real life and in fighting for accessibility. He was diplomatic, funny and kind and me, while I mean well, can be harsh in my wording if I feel I need to be. I'll say what I know everyone is thinking even if I probably shouldn't.

@pierce_jeffrey This definitely got a laugh out of me. Considering I beat TLOU 1 with a brick since I had nothing else. It was pretty funny at the time, but if it had been just a sandwich, that would have been even funnier.

There are so many places that need help with accessibility! Express your ideas! Share your thoughts! Even playing the games on Twitch or other streaming sites gives so much information. You have no idea! Go do it! @superblindman would want you to! :)

Brandon and I went to Money in the Bank when it was in Columbus Ohio. He wanted to make a sign that said "I really can't see u". I'm not sure if @JohnCena saw it but the production guys ran over and let us know they loved it! We made sure he had his white cane visible too!

@stevesaylor @Naughty_Dog When I saw @superblindman get his first stealth kill. I cried. When I saw that @PortableKingpin and the whole team were going balls to the wall to make this game absolutely playable. I cried again. It's overwhelming and amazing and I was so happy the team pulled you in Steve.

Goodbye my beloved Angelus ( Angel Bob ). You were the worst assistant I ever had. You’d lay on my books and pick my keys off my laptop. But, you were the best cat a girl could ever have. I kept my promise and loved you fiercely to the end as you did me.

Look let's just say it this way. NOBODY wants a game to be played for them unless it's an absolute last resort. Please #GameDev push for the hire of consultants. WE WANT TO HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCES. Not someone else doing it for us, not the game doing it. Us doing it!

Losing 80lbs has made my 3x shirts become dresses. I'm amused. I still like wearing them. Reminds me of where I've come from. Plus they're comfy. It's honestly pointless for me to go clothes shopping so i've been unboxing old clothes. I'm in my pants from high school LOL

Please let's be absolutely clear that Ratchet and Clank is not playable for the completely blind. There are some nice features but you may be giving wrong information to people while you sing it's praise. We're not there yet. Gaming isn't for everyone until it is.
