I was watching TV on Saturday and suddenly I started to watch a family story in HBO channel. It call my attention because it was a story about a boy who lost his sight and the guilty was his mother. I thought that it was a kind of crime or something like that. However, it was different. they were a normal family until doctors realize that the boy of the family will became blindness soon. At the beginning they did know too much about that. They knew that the illness in their son was because a virus but they didn't know where does the virus come from. Only after some tests doctors realized that the mother has the virus; although, she didn't develop the illness. It was a very a hard time for this family, to know that the mother was who transmit the illness to the boy almost destroy this family. After they got this news, the nightmare started. The father started to work more hours and stop to talk his wife. for him she was the only guilty of his son suffering. They lived like that for two years, the mother said, "we were living together but it was like everybody was living so far. I would never forget this hard time for my family. I feel bad each time that I remember how me and my husband were trying to look for the guilty one and we forgot that our son was living the worst side."
things like this make me think in many things. Many times we spend time complaining for thing that we don't have. However, we don't realize what we already had. The only reason that we are healthy should be enough reason for stop complaining.
Fortunately, for this boy the world did end once he lost his sight. Thanks to his friend he could got over most of his obstacles. He could go back to the school, and he could play ice hockey again, his favorite sport.It is unbelievable how a child sometimes can teach adult a lot about life. His parents learned that neither the mother nor the father were culpable for their son's illness. Obviously she was the transmitter but she didn't know about this virus before. So they stop looking for whose fault was it, and they started to live again as a family. Now the boy is trying to do his life as a normal person, and with his Friend's help hi is getting that. He said that he wants to be a rock start. He once had the opportunity to play a guitar in rock concert with one of his favorites bands " Shine down ". When these band heard the story about this boy, they invite him to play with them. They said that he is a good example for many people.
Just to finish, I want to say that we never know how far can we get, the only way to know is trying.
