English2010.55

There was one statement that really stuck out me as the narrator was telling about his wife’s past with Robert. It reads, “… the blind man asked if he could touch her face, … she never forgot it.” An experience like this is something you would never want to forget. Yes, it might be hard to hear your wife or husband talk about an old friend and how great of a time you had together, but it should hopefully show that you can trust one another and not let the past get in the way. I admire the narrator for being able to become friends with Robert when he came for a visit. I know this couldn’t have been easy, but he was able to start putting the past behind him and move on with the future. I think their friendship will improve because it seems like the narrator realized that his wife is happy with him and not Robert.
