That's when it hit me; my sunglasses were buried in the grave where my Talal lay. Yes, my sunglasses were buried with him. But oh, how I wish my eyes had gone with him instead.

About This Quote

I am a guy who wears sunglasses all the time. I have had my sunglasses for years and years. In fact, I have probably had them since I was a little kid. One day, I was talking to a friend of mine about how much I love my sunglasses and then I realized that my sunglasses were buried in the grave of someone close to me.

My sunglasses went from being a part of me to being buried in the grave of someone else. It is really hard to understand how it feels to lose something valuable. When you lose your glasses, it’s not just any pair of glasses.

It is your daily pair of glasses that you are accustomed to wearing. You are used to seeing yourself in them every day. They are the only pair that fits you perfectly because they were custom made for you just like your body was made just for you.

And now they are gone forever because someone dumped them into the grave with someone you love, where they will remain forevermore.
