The Blind Girl

"There was a blind girl who 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 only see the world, I will marry you."

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including ehr 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 ehr. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at his closed eyelids the rest of her life led ehr to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later he wrote a note to her saying, "Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine."

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remeber what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations."

My husband read this to me and I wanted to share it with you guys.

awwww...

it crashed my heart the first time i read this short story

is there still such thing as unconditional love?!

Wow, what an amazing story.  Unconditional love with no limits.  It is sad how sometimes vanity can take over someone's heart.   Love is an amazing thing....and sometimes painful as well.  Thank you for sharing this!

What a great and heart breaking story Shan. Thanks for sharing it. It really does make you think.
