Here we are.....at home......in silence. My mother won't put me down. She keeps crying. My father isn't saying much either. She's in the room with me and he's in another.
After a long while my father comes into the room. He sits down right by my mom. And they just sit together in silence.
Throughout the day that's how it was. Just quiet. Eventually the silence stopped....And than I my mom said "I'm angry at God"..................that' all I heard her say. My dad didn't reply back to her. And rather than talking about it, she held it in until she no longer could. After that, all the hurt and anger just exploded out of her. Like a coke can being shaken up, or a volcano. She just exploded..... She hated the world..... And my dad was her target. She took all her emotions out on him....... ...
My mothers anger eventually went away but she still would cry. Was she still angry with God??..... I don't know....... I never heard her talk about it again. But I tried my hardest to make her laugh, or even smile.
I'm thinking, "Mom, look at me. I am okay! I am happy! I have nothing but smiles to give you! I don't know what being blind is, but whatever it is, it can't be all that bad. I don't feel anything different"
