This week, my Blind Student #1 had the opportunity to meet my Blind Student #2. I was super excited about the intro but had no idea I would have the chance to overhear one of the sweetest conversations ever. The conversation is extra touching considering their sweet young age and naivety. It went a little something like this:
BS1: I've been blind my whole life.
BS2: Oh, I have only been blind for a couple of years.
BS1: Oh wow. You are so lucky....before you got blind you got to take a look around!
Seriously? Is that not the sweetest/most touching/saddest/most beautiful comment ever? YOU GOT TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND? As if BS1 would give anything for just one look.
How many "looks" do I get to take everyday that I take for granted? It certainly made me take a moment to realize all of the "looks" that I have had the opportunity to take, and how grateful I am for each one.
Here are a few of my faves:
A beach sunset.
Tennessee fall foliage.
My husband-to-be as I walked down the aisle.
My beautiful sister on her wedding day.
A special dance.
Take a moment today and "look around." We have so much to be thankful for!
