The Blind Passenger - A Touching Love Story Of Susan And Mark [Google - Shared]
The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the attractive young woman with the white cane made her way carefully up the steps. She paid the driver, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, walked down the aisle and found the seat heâd told her was empty. Then she settled in, placed her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against her leg. It had been a year since Susan, thirty-four, became blind. Due to a medical misdiagnosis, she had been rendered sightless, and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self-pity. Once a fiercely independent woman, Susan now felt condemned by this terrible twist of fate to become a powerless and helpless burden on everyone around her. âHow could this have happened to me?â she would plead, her heart knotted with anger, but no matter how much she cried, protested, ranted or prayed, she knew the painful truth that her sight was never going to return. A cloud of depression hung over Susanâs once optimistic spirit. Just getting through each day was an exercise in frustration and exhaustion. And all she had to cling to was her husband Mark. Mark was an Air Forces officer and he loved Susan with all of his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidence she needed to become independent again. Markâs military background had trained him well to deal with such sensitive situations, and yet he knew this was the most difficult battle he would ever face. Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to drive her to and from work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city. At first, this comforted Susan and fulfilled Markâs need to protect his sightless wife who was so insecure about performing the slightest task. Soon, however, Mark realized that this arrangement wasnât working, it was hectic and costly. âSusan is going to have to start taking the bus againâ he admitted to himself, but just the thought of mentioning it to her made him cringe, she was still so fragile and so angry. âHow would she react?â he admitted to himself again. Just as Mark predicted, Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again. âIâm blind!â she responded bitterly âHow am I supposed to know where Iâm going? I feel like youâre abandoning meâ. Markâs heart broke to hear these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that each morning and evening he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it. And that is exactly what happened. For two solid weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses specifically her hearing, how to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. He helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat. He made her laugh, even on those not-so-good days when she would trip exiting the bus, or drop her briefcase. Each morning they made the journey together, and Mark would take a cab back to his office. Although this routine was even more costly and exhausting than the previous one, Mark knew it was only a matter of time before Susan would be able to ride the bus on her own. He believed in her, he used to know before sheâd lost her sight, who wasnât afraid of any challenge and who would never, ever quit. Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived, and before she left, she threw her arms around Mark, her temporary bus riding companion, her husband and her best friend. Her eyes filled with tears of gratitude for his loyalty, his sincerity, his patience and his love. She said good-bye, and for the first time, they went their separate ways. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, each day on her own went perfectly, and Susan had never felt better. She was doing it and she was going to work all by herself. On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual. As she was paying for her fare to exit the bus, the driver said âBoy, I sure envy youâ Susan wasnât sure if the driver was speaking to her or not. After all, who on earth would ever envy a blind woman who had struggled just to find the courage to live for the past year? Curiously, she asked him âWhy do you say that you envy me?â The driver responded âIt must feel so good to be taken care of and protected like you areâ. Susan had no idea what the driver was talking about, she asked him again âWhat do you mean?â. The driver answered, âYou know, every morning for the past week, a fine looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing across the corner watching you when you get off the bus. He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches you until you enter your office building. Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute and walks away. You are one lucky ladyâ. Tears of happiness poured down Susanâs cheeks. For although she couldnât physically see him, she had always felt Markâs presence. She was fortunate, so fortunate, for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight, a gift she didnât need to see to believe, the gift of love that can bring light where there had been darkness. You donât love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. God Bless Everyone. Credit : Google / Bing / Unknown Author |
