A man named Tomi has shared an emotional post online reflecting on the profound loss of his sight and the enduring memory of his wife’s face.
He reveals he was blinded seven years ago after being shot in the face by an armed robber. The last faces he ever saw were those of his wife, family, and friends.
Tomi describes missing his wife’s face every single day, sometimes touching it with his hands to form a mental picture.
He expresses deep gratitude for having seen her beautiful face for years before the tragedy. The post comes during his wedding anniversary month, as he and his wife will celebrate six years of marriage on January 31.
His message serves as a poignant reminder to others to cherish their sight and loved ones. He urges people to look at their family and friends, tell them they are loved, and see the world’s beauty together. Having moved from Nigeria to Canada, he notes his world is now experienced through new sounds and perpetual darkness.
Tomi ends his heartfelt post by asking people to be thankful for their vision and to find a place in their hearts to pray for him to see again.
