Foreshadowing that doesn't end...
So just when you think you've seen the worst in him, something happens to him and you cry. Glaucoma. It's not something i did, or he did or anyone else did that could have caused any of this. It's a disease that makes a person go blind over time. The vision narrows into a tunnel until there's nothing left but darkness. And you know what was the first thing he thought of:
Not being able to see his children graduate.
Not being able to see us get married.
Not being able to see our children.
It's sad when you think of all the horrible things he's done, but no one deserves this. No one. So Dad will one day go blind. It could happen within the year. It could happen in 10 years. Either way, it's horrible. He won't be able to see his flowers that he adores so much that we poke fun of all the time. He can't take the dog for walks anymore cause he can't see where she's leading him to. He won't be able to match his clothes (not that he can do that anyway) or watch a movie. He can't read a book without learning to read braille. What that must be like to walk around a room and not see what's there or know who's standing near you without an indication.
God what it must be like to not be able to see, but be able to see in your dreams.
Not being able to see his children graduate.
Not being able to see us get married.
Not being able to see our children.
