Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required I got home quite late from working one night My eyes felt quite painful, they didn't feel right I said to my wife “My eyes feel very strange" She said, “It's just eyestrain or even your age" We laughed about that because I was only forty-four I’d get seen tomorrow after we've been to the store I looked in on my two daughters, and then went to bed My eyes were stinging badly and all I could see was red. The next morning, I woke up and lay there in fright And I couldn't tell if it was morning, noon, or night I knew I was awake, but everything was blurry And prayed to God that this was only temporary. My wife took me to hospital for answers to find Three x- rays showed that I'd gone totally blind The eye consultant said "More tests we will do When we get the results back, we'll send for you". "At this stage I don't want to give you any false hope But of course, in the meantime we'll help you to cope" The reality of those words hit me, I just wanted to die My wife was in total shock, and she started to cry. I was in a real dark place and wanted to end my life But all I could think of was my two kids and my wife. Daily tasks were a nightmare I struggled to even shave And all I wanted to do was to just lie in my grave. Home was a struggle; I couldn't find my way around I’d trip over furniture and end up on the ground I was getting very depressed because I couldn't see Unable to do the things that really mattered to me. I used to read stories to my kids and make their tea But now I just felt that I was a burden on my family I'd dreamt of one day walking my girls down the aisle To see their happiness and to make their mom smile. Other family members and friends supported me too Performing those daily tasks that I would normally do They only wanted to help me because they all cared I’d just sit there feeling depressed, isolated, and scared. I got called two weeks later my results had come through The consultant explained “There's nothing we can do A build-up of pressure has caused your retinas to tear You've suffered major damage that we cannot repair". My wife took me to a blind group and there I met Jed And he shocked me to the core with what he next said "It's happened; get over it there's many others like you You’re dragging down your family and yourself too". “It's happened, and you’re lucky so late in your life I've never seen my kid’s faces or that of my wife" In the abyss of despair there was a faint spark of light Reluctantly I realised that maybe what he said was right. He told me of his struggles; how he managed to cope For the first time in ten months, he gave me some hope I hadn't really accepted what had happened to me And I Realised I was lashing out at those close to me. My wife took me to classes, and I learned to read Braille And she stayed the whole time to make sure I didn't fail My confidence grew stronger, I was accepting my fate And I thanked God I'd met Jed before it was too late. There are some things I do miss like the sports on TV But my wife is an angel, and she explains things to me I've made lots of new friends; I've got a guide dog too And I sincerely hope it never happens to you.
