Which Sense Would You Most Miss?

I was watching something yesterday about how our bodies change and age a few days ago. It made me think of our senses (taste, sight, smell, touch, and hearing). It's like our feet... We use them so much and take them for granted. But have you ever thought about not having one of them, which would you miss the most? For me it would be sight. I remember when I was a young girl and living at my grandparent's house. My grandmother's mother, Rachel, was staying there, my great grandmother. It was my job to keep her entertained during the day while grandma was outside working in the garden. She was blind and pretty much bedridden. I would read to her from the Reader's Digest, sometimes even making up stories to tell her. But for my small mind it really struck home to me how important our eyesight was. It has stayed with me all these years. Oh, I'd miss the others, but eyesight really opens the world up to us. Losing that sense would really close down the world. I feel so badly for those who have never had sight. They have no idea what they are missing, and their world must be so confined. What are your thoughts?
