My
right eye
lost
to glaucoma
self
pity took my heart
the
days were long
the
question was always
why
why
me
a
constant mood of darkness
my
attitude was sour
it's
strange how a person can change
totally
change for such a small disability
so
small compared to those who have lost both legs
so
small compared to those who become paralyzed
so
small compared to if I had lost both eyes
it
was those thoughts that brought me back
losing
one eye was little
a
minor inconvenience
mostly
just a loss of peripheral vision
that
and my depth perception leaving me
within
that six to eight foot distance it was strange
life
was changing for me again
it
was night and day
from
sour to sweet
the
self pity was gone
what
I had was far greater than what I had lost
I
was immediately able to appreciate what I still had
no
more did I rue the loss
I
began to realize
there
was beauty in the world
that
I had never seen before
