A life Without Colors, No way!

One day, while I was walking home from school I saw an old man sitting at the seaside and talking with his dog. Although, my mom always tells me not to talk with strangers, I found myself sitting next to the old man and asking questions about the dog.

By the way, I’m Danny and the old man was Mr. Jacob. I’m 25 years old now, but that day I was just 11. And sitting next to Mr. Jacob was the best thing I did that day.

Mr Jacob wanted me to describe everything I see with their colors, and to be honest, I thought he was making fun of me because I was a small boy. But anyways, I started to describe the sea, trees, birds, the pavement… Then suddenly, he asked “What about the dog?” . That was it! I got angry and I said, “Mr. Jacob are you kidding me??”

After a short silence, he just said, “I’m blind Danny and I love when a child describes me the nature and colors…” . I was shocked… I just said, “I’m late…” and started to run, because I was crying…

When I saw my mom, I remember hugging her and saying “Mom, I don’t want a life without colors, no way!” . That night we had a long talk with my parents about colors, life and everything God has given us and we prayed.

Now, I’m 25 and I’m an artist 🙂

Thanks to Mr. Jacob, he showed me how happy a person can be even by realizing all the colors God has given to us.

And don’t forget to find a rainbow after every storm and rain. Because all the rainbows are full of happiness 😉
