A blind girl's painful lesson- gratitude



There is a story about a blind girl who hated herself, detested everyone except her loving boyfriend, who was always there for her.

One day, she turned to him and said :" If only I could see the world, I will marry you"

It wasn't long before some one donated a pair of eyes to her.
When the bandages came off, she was finally able to see everything including her boyfriend.

He asked her : "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"

The girl looked at him and saw he was blind, just like her before.
........... the thought of looking at his closed eyelids for the rest of her life totally turned her off.

Her boyfriend left in tears.

Days later, he wrote her a note saying :

"Take care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were your eyes, they were mine. I love you"

Be thankful.
