The human eye is a miracle and a wonder in itself. Mine are shite. Sure they look ok but would I take a duller pair of eyes for a pair that worked at least semi-well? Absolutely I would. Imagine being able to lie down sideways and look at something. Or being able to open your eyes first thing in the morning and be able to see properly. Or not have to use dirty fingers to take the contacts out when you’re camping, sleeping in the car, or at T in the Park. Or one getting pushed around the back of your eyeball during jiu-jitsu.
But the true wonder and amazement is looking into the eyes of your children, seeing them looking back at you, and knowing that you had a 50% hand in making those eyes. Those eyes that look at you for not only love but safety, warmth, reliability, food and shelter, and love, did I mention that before? For those eyes truly show that, and mine may be duff and defective but they shine with more love now than they ever have before. They may not work properly, but they sure work well at that.
