One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was expecting a quiet   21   of the splendid artwork.

       A young   22   viewing the paintings ahead of me   23   nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking. I admired the man’s   24   for putting up with her   25   stream of words.   26   by their noise, I moved on.

       I met them several times as I moved   27   the various rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away   28  .

       I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a   29   when the couple approached the   30  . Before they left, the man   31   into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He   32   it into a long stick and then   33   his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

       “He’s a   34   man,” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in   35   there is a new art show.”

I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without   39   and the courage of a husband who would not   40   blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined.
