They said this would happen but it just felt too surreal. Lights, colours, shapes surround me as I open my eyes to the world for the first time. The overwhelming feeling that fills my heart causes me to tear up. I wipe at them furiously for fear that will take the magic of today. My room was totally different to what I had imagined. Everything was. I leap out of bed and rush to the mirror, no longer worrying about tripping over one of my fallen pillows. I freeze as I stare at my reflection. My eyes were wide with wonder and elation: I can see it in the sparkle of my very dark brown eyes. I touch the surface of the mirror and watch as my reflection does the same. Amazing.
