Challenge: #44-Almost Forgotten
Author's Note: Yes, I know, I use too much dialogue in these things. It's just my writing style...unfortunately.
As with many things in my life, it not until I lost my eyesight did I truly appreciate it. Thus, when after a few years, I found it returning to me, I marveled in everything I saw. First it was light, then color, and eventually shapes began to form. It was rather like looking at the world through a foggy window; nevertheless, I savored every moment. One day Jane noticed me staring at her as we sat in the garden.
“What has possessed you, Edward?”
“Oh, nothing, it’s just that I had almost forgotten…”
“Forgotten what?”
“How beautiful you are.”
