Thee years ago I was given a unique opportunity to see and explore our world with my heart rather than just my naked eyes and I am able to give hugs rather than handshakes. Amazing isn’t it?
At the tender age of 24 I taught that I was living the life that I have always dreamt off. I was working in a lab in downtown Toronto while earning my degree when my life had an unexpected turn. On April 7, 2008 I went to work as usual not knowing that my life would be forever changed. While working in the lab my face, neck, chest, arms and hands were severely burnt resulting in my vision becoming impaired.
At first, my vision was blurry then gradually over the next few weeks it began to deteriorate. Knowing what the future might hold my thoughts were to get myself ready emotionally and mentally if the unexpected vision loss were to occur. Over the next few weeks with the help of loved ones we moved stuff around in my room and around the house so I will not bump into things. Approximately three months later I woke up one morning was not able to see anything. Feeling sorry for myself was not an option but with the help of family and friends they made sure my life was normal by making me do things that I never thought was possible at the time. Some of the activities we did were going to the mall, parks, shows, shopping, and restaurants. Believe it or not I even went to the movies with my loved ones narrating the entire movie. Having the support of family and friends made my transition from seeing everything to being in complete darkness much easier and safer.
I clearly remembered the morning I woke up and was not able to see anything. I was overwhelmed with the feelings of fear and sadness. I had to stop myself for those feelings and think of the 24 wonderful years I had with being blessed to see all the beauties of the world. I was in complete darkness
Feeling sorry for myself was not an option. Instead I have decided to share my experience with others.
I no longer see cloudy days. Everyday I am faced with new challenges but I don’t let them hold me back from accomplishing my dreams.
Who will ever think I will be making a difference in another person life. I don’t have the use of my hands and my vision is impaired but instead of making a difference in one person life I am making a difference in countless of lives globally.
Do not allow fear to hold you back from your dreams and goals. Go out each day and be the best you can be. Nothing is happening to you, it’s all happening for you.
My mission is to educate and inspire you to live life to the fullest through the channel of love and enjoy this beautiful gift of life that has been graciously given to us.
Through my life experiences you can relate and also be encouraged to know that there is no obstacle too great to overcome.
With my strong faith in God and my belief that incurable means curable from within, I am now able to see shadows after being in complete darkness for almost three years.
Everything is possible!
