This story happened when I was in Saint Lucia with my

family. My sister, Diana, who also happens to be my best friend and one of the

funniest and kindest people I know, went blind in one eye about 9 years ago.

Diana sometimes feels concerned about the way her eye looks now. The pupil(瞳孔) is no longer black; it's sort of

"glows" in photos. Diana recently purchased a special contact lens (隐形镜片) that makes her eye look like it did

before it changed color, but she doesn't wear this lens often because it

becomes quite painful after about an hour.

One night during our holiday, a hotel photographer was

taking pictures of the guests as they entered the area set up for dinner. Diana

casually said if she had known there was going to be pictures taken to capture

this special memory, she would have worn her contact lens so her eye wouldn't

be so shiny in the picture.

The next day, I was sitting with Diana and her husband Ted.

While we were talking, the photographer who had been at the dinner the night

before, handed her a photo, leaned in and quietly said, "I matched the color

of your eyes in the picture."

As he walked away, my sister happily said to me and Ted,

"Look! He fixed my eye!" The photographer stopped. He turned around and

walked back to our table. He put his hand on Diana's shoulder, leaned in again

and gently said, "Just to be clear: I didn't fix your eye. There isn't anything

wrong with your eye. I simply matched the color. "

Her eyes filled up with tears. It was very healing for her

heart to hear these beautiful words. It didn't take much time and made so much

difference. It helped her change the way she feels about herself.

I have always loved the quote: "The world is full of

good people. If you can't find one, be one!" Your acts of kindness can

impact the world in profound ways!
