One story tells the tragic tale of a firefighter and his unwavering love from his fiancée.

Despite losing his eyesight in the line of duty, his fiancée stands by his side and chooses to marry him. However, the firefighter succumbs to emotional distress due to his blindness. His wife continuously encourages him and eventually gives birth to a daughter. This heroic firefighter finds renewed purpose in caring for his daughter.

When the daughter turns eight years old, she unfortunately develops cancer. In her final moments, she selflessly donates her corneas to her father, in the hope of restoring his vision. The father is overcome with grief upon learning of this decision. However, by the time his eyes regain their sight, his daughter has already been laid to rest. It is a heartbreaking realization that the father never had the chance to see his daughter with his own eyes.
