The day began as usual. I woke up in the early morning, brushed my teeth
and came
to breakfast. I went out to take the bike and met my
neighbor Mrs. Finch. She called :«Good morning, Theo! I'm here, on the right». Mrs.
Finch was a wonderful woman, but she was so old and still
can`t understand that I was not totally blind.
I was riding a bike and enjoyed good weather. I felt the sun's
rays on my skin and the wind in my hair. I loved the wind. It couldn’t be seen ,but could be felt. And most
importantly, it was with all the people and not only with me and my eyes.
I went into the gym and walked over to the group. James greeted
me and told about an incredible event. There was a girl in the group.
Previously, there were only boys. Other guys told that her name was
Alexandra and she was 9 years old. Our teacher came in and began training . I
stood up on my place and suddenly heard a voice :
«Hi, I’ll stand next to you, okay?» .I realized that
it was a girlish voice, the most beautiful voice in the world.
Training was over and I went to the locker room. I groped for my backpack
and went to take a bike. There was another bike next to my bike.
It was so bright and rainbow that even I could see him. There were Alexandra in front of
him. « Weather is wonderful ,isn`t it ? It’s the best time for a
walk in the park»-she said.
We went to the park and settled on the grass. Alexandra told me that when
she was 5 years old, she had an accident together with her parents,where she
received severe injury. She had an eyes surgery 2 years ago, but it did
not help. I was impressed that in spite of all this, she was so optimistic and
cheerful. And most importantly, she was self-assured.
For the first time I met someone who
fully understood me. I had a best friend Jack,
but he had never saw the world through my
eyes. I was really happy and we laughed when
Alexandra told that once she could not
distinguish her dog and she brought home a pariah-dog.
At home, I thought about Alexandra (I still remember Alexandra) and her
words: «Despite everything,life is a wonderful thing, Theo».
