[00:01.68]The Powerful Gift Of Love 强大的爱之礼物

[00:09.76]Due to a medical misdiagnosis, Susan had been rendered1 sightless,

[00:16.33]and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration2 and self pity.

[00:23.57]Mark, her husband, was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart.

[00:29.80]When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair3

[00:34.73]and was determined4 to help his wife gain the strength and confidence

[00:39.75]she needed to become independent again.

[00:42.82]Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job,

[00:46.86]but how would she get there?

[00:49.05]Mark promised Susan that each morning and evening he would ride the bus with her,

[00:54.85]for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it.

[00:58.12]And that is exactly what happened. For two solid weeks, Mark, military uniform and all,

[01:05.45]accompanied Susan to and from work each day.

[01:09.39]Finally, Susan decided5 to try the trip on her own and it turned out that she was doing it well.

[01:16.29]On Friday morning, Susan took the bus to work as usual.

[01:21.32]As she was paying the fare to exit the bus, the driver said, “Boy, I sure do envy you.”

[01:29.19]Susan wasn't sure if the driver was speaking to her or not.

[01:34.00]After all, who on earth would ever envy a blind woman

[01:38.26]who had struggled just to find the courage to live for the past year?

[01:42.75]Curious, she asked the driver, “Why do you say that you envy me?”

[01:48.43]The driver responded, “It must feel good to be taken care of and protected like you are.”

[01:55.76]Susan had no idea what the driver was talking about, and again asked, “What do you mean?”

[02:03.64]The driver answered, “You know, every morning for the past week,

[02:08.56]a fine looking gentleman in a military uniform has been standing6 across the corner

[02:13.97]watching you as you get off the bus.

[02:16.37]He makes sure you cross the street safely and he watches until you enter your office building.

[02:22.50]Then he blows you a kiss, gives you a little salute7 and walks away. You are one lucky lady.”

[02:29.06]Tears of happiness poured down Susan's cheeks.

[02:33.32]For although she couldn't physically8 see him, she had always felt Mark's presence9.

[02:38.52]She was lucky, so lucky, for he had given her a gift more powerful than sight,

[02:44.75]a gift she didn't need to see to believe—

[02:48.03]the gift of love that can bring light where there is darkness.
