As I write this blog, I’m thinking about tomorrow – one of the landmark days of my life, my 50th Wedding Anniversary. Fifty years married to Patty, my wife, my best friend, my lover, the mother of our children, and my eyes on the world. It’s Patty’s eyes that have navigated our live’s journey. From describing a beautiful California sunset to deciding what I should wear to that very important meeting, Patty’s eyes have effortlessly and lovingly turned the darkness of my blindness into a life full of light, love, and joy.
Tomorrow evening we will dress for each other and as always I will feel a twinge of sadness because although in every way I appreciate Patty’s beauty and believe I have a special ability to see her inside-out, I’m sure that she wishes that I could take in the complete picture of who she is without limitation. It’s said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. If that’s really true, it’s Patty’s eyes that bond us together heart to heart and soul to soul.
So make sure that you take a look – a real look at the people you love and realize the importance of what it means to see. At Discovery Eye, we are committed with your help to finding the answers that will allow people to enjoy the vision that makes every day and every anniversary worth living.
