After several exams, The doctor gave them the news they were so afraid of.: Lucy was losing her sight due to a degenerative disease. ready, the darkness would be permanent. Lucy didn't quite understand what that meant., But seeing the tears in her mother's eyes and the sad silence of her father, He knew something serious was happening. Weeks passed, and little by little, Lucy stopped seeing the colors of the sky and the flowers in her garden. His world was going out, but inside his heart, a small light was still on. One day, while sitting under her favorite tree, She heard a soft voice calling her. —Hola, Lucy. Lucy turned her face towards the sound.. I couldn't see who it belonged to, but the voice was warm and friendly. -Who are you? -asked. "I'm Mateo," said the boy.. I live in the farm next door. My parents told me about you and I thought you might like some company.. Lucy smiled. Even though I couldn't see it, Mateo's presence made her feel less alone. -Thank you, Mateo. I would really like to have a friend nearby. Over time, Mateo became his inseparable companion. He described the landscape to her, He told her about the clouds that glided across the sky and the flowers that grew in the fields.. Through his words, Lucy began to see the world in a different way. One day, while they were sitting near the river, Lucy said: -Sometimes, I feel sad because I can no longer see.. I miss the colors and shapes.. Matthew was silent for a moment and then replied.: —I understand it's hard., Lucy. But you still have the ability to see with your heart.. You can feel the warmth of the sun., hear the birds singing and touch the flowers.. Sight is not only what we perceive with our eyes., but also what we feel and experience.. Lucy reflected on Matthew's words.. He was right.. Even though he had lost his sight., he hadn't lost his ability to feel the beauty of the world around him.. Over time, Lucy thought.
