Love at a Glance

While my husband was at the airport picking up his childhood sweetheart,

I was in the hospital listening to the doctor explain the risks of my surgery.

I might die on the operating table, or I might go blind.

But my husband didn't believe me. He thought I was trying to get his attention and deliberately exaggerating.

His childhood sweetheart tore up my medical report and threw it in the trash.

Even when I placed the scraps in front of my husband, all he did was mock me for making a fuss over nothing. He didn't care about my condition at all.

But when I handed him a divorce agreement,

the man who hadn't even been willing to accompany me to the hospital said he wanted to be my eyes.
