An old friend posted this story today. Her version was longer and had a lot more to do with thanking God. While religion is still sort of a mystery for me, I thought the centering story was a good lesson for anyone. It reminds me of past mistakes and what I'm still trying to understand about relationships in general. Whether you're the girl or the boy in this story, it's a good reminder about perception.
"There was a blind girl that hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, “If I could see the world, I’d marry you”. One day someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at him for the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying; 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.' "
