When a child puts on their first pair of glasses and their face lights up with how they can now see the world, or the older person smiles because of their brand new look, or the disabled person beams because she is finally comfortable enough in her glasses to once again be able to read the books she has stacked up waiting... those are the best days in Wendy's opinion and she will work hard to find a way to make you smile about your new glasses, too.
