Tonight, Tuesday, Everardo continues to see more and more light, but no sight yet.
On the full moon night I didn't bother to close the curtains since he couldn't see. In the morning he reported that the lights had been left on and that he hadn't slept well. Lol, I took it as an encouraging sign and that he was regaining his sight.
Eve continues to amaze me as I still can't imagine how he managed to survive two years without sight, cooking, washing clothes, and keeping track of his things. Beyond cognition.
This is where Eve would stand to eat, mostly boiled beans or lentils and two tortillas. There was dust galore everywhere but his dishes were clean.
The bouquet of roses was a Christmas gift from Rhonda. She left them on his stoop thinking he saw them, not knowing that he was blind. Eve's neighbor commented that someone had left him some lovely flowers and asked where he should put them. Eve had Raul bring them in so that his framed Virgin of Guadalupe could enjoy them.
Rhonda was not the only one to make the mistake as none of us realized, on first speaking with Eve, that he was sightless. For me it was a big, big shock to finally see that he was blind.
This is how Eve spent most of two years, sitting and looking out. When we approached he conversed normally and calmly. He gave no clue for us to think otherwise, that he was sightless.
To be continued, Cruz
