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 and, using her
hands to feel the location of the seats, walked down the
aisle and found the seat he'd 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, 34, 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. And all she had to cling to was
her husband, Mark.
Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all
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.
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 work each day, even though they worked at
opposite ends of the city. At first, this comforted Susan,
and fulfilled Mark's need to protect his sightless wife
who was so insecure about performing the slightest task.
Soon, however, Mark realized the arrangement wasn't working.
Susan is going to have to start taking the bus again, he
admitted to himself. But she was still so fragile, so angry
- how would she react? Just as he predicted, Susan was horrified
at the idea of taking the bus again.
"I'm blind!", she responded bitterly. "How
am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel like you're
abandoning me."
Mark's 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.
