My father’s glasses
Not to long ago, my father had his face uncovered. But days went by and he noticed something different. Something was missing. He went to the doctor, and in fact something was missing. He needed glasses. He decided to choose the ones that fitted correctly to him, according to the shape of his face. By the time he came home, my siblings and me noticed it right away. It was the first day of his new life. It had been long ago since he could see right the way he was supposed to. His life changed from that very day into a whole different one. He was now able to see the world like it is supposed to. He missed watching the football games without having to bend over to the TV. He missed that he needed to change the font size in his computer in order for him to see correctly. He missed that from far away he couldn’t see that clear. Now he could open his eyes into a beautiful day and look at it in a very positive way, since everything had brightened up. That day that changed his life for good now has turned into a day way back in the past. My father has had his eyes checked very often ever since that day. He takes really good care of his glasses. Whenever he doesn’t have a cloth to clean it with, he uses his cotton shirt to clean it. He is in charge of them every step of the way. People do not notice him whenever he doesn’t have his glasses with him. It is very weird to see him without his glasses on. Whenever this happens it is for a reason. It is whether he is cleaning them or because he is going to see the eye doctor and needs his eyes to rest for a bit. My father rarely complains about something. But when he does complain, is when he is not able to see the bright day because his glasses were dirty. For this not to happen, he is responsible for always having them clean. My family is used to seeing my dad with glasses and people around him identify him by the glasses. Although my mother suggests the idea for my dad to get eye surgery, my dad refuses this for various reasons. He doesn’t want for people to see him without glasses since he is used to having them. He is afraid that something might go wrong and he ends up having to use a greater amount of magnification for his glasses. He likes the way he is right now and he will not change it for a long time.
