A STORY OF LOVE

Thanks to Lydia Hostetler in Pennsylvania for sending this!

There was once a blind girl who hated herself for no other reason except that she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind. Not wanting to be burdened by a 'blind' person, she refused to marry him. Her loving, devoted and understanding boyfriend walked away in tears, his heart obviously broken.

The girl who had been so fortunate to have the world opened up to her, continued enjoying it; day in and day out, trying to never miss a single pleasure life had to offer. A while later she received a letter from her ex-boyfriend which stated simply:

"I sincerely hope you enjoy your life. Your happiness was all that ever mattered to me. I am so happy that you are enjoying life as I always hoped you could. I would like to ask one parting favor of you. my dear -- just take good care of my eyes."
