We watch movies. We read stories. Too often we
forget that our lives are an adventure too!
We are surrounded by people who are really
worth to be known.
I am
going to tell you about the experience of SHANDER. He tells us how everything
that makes us different can be a gift.
“When you are blind you imagine how people
look. Not by touching their face our gauging their height, but by their voice,
and the kind of person they are”.
According to SHANDER, those things form a person. When he saw his
wife for the first time, she was really as he had expected her to be.
He wasn’t born blind. He lost his sight because of an accident when he was 10. This
made things worse because he always tried to remember how seeing was.
He attended a special school and he had to
stay out of his home for whole weeks.
It was difficult but necessary, the best way
to grow up. He learnt to cook clean, do sports and go out alone. That’s more
than most teenagers do now. He was independent.
Many people are surprised when he talks about what
he is able to do. They are used to think that a blind person doesn’t succeed in
doing anything by himself.
This made SHANDER prouder because he managed
to kill prejudices.
The best thing in his life was meeting
Gurjeet. Though.
He would never believe that someone would marry him. But
she wanted to!
“She was there, she was waiting for me. We
have been shoulder to shoulder since”
Being blind was just a little part of this life:
they just lived with it.
One day everything changed.
After a visit in an eye hospital in Brighton, he
was cured and finally he could see!
Gurjeet was as he had imagined her in his mind as if he had always seen her, she
was familiar - this should make us
reflect- .”I can see you“ he just said. Everything was crystal clear.The world seemed
so bright in his eyes. It was so wonderful.
THERE WAS SO MUCH TO LOOK AT.
Being blind for such long time was not a blame
for Shander but a gift! Now he can see more than we can.
