This, as it turns out, is also easy enough to do or at least attempt considering what parents Edith and Sbastien Pelletier did in response to their three children's tragic diagnosis: they took them on a year-long journey around the globe to fill their visual memories with as much beautiful imagery as possible before their worlds go dark forever.

As chronicled in Blink, the family soaks in the breathtaking sights before them while also grappling with the reality of the challenges that lie ahead. It is a touching tale that perfectly...
