Miracles авторский перевод на английский

Someone believed in miracles entire his life. He believed that a miracle was when the natural course of events was disrupted and something unusual happened that surprised and delighted everyone around him. He was always an optimist and hoped that miracles happened and would surely happen to him.
But no miracle was happening.
However, he continued to believe, painted wonderful pictures in his imagination, and thought about his participation in all this.
But no miracle was happening.
He knew that miracles are very rare, and it is very difficult to be there when they happened, so he was very careful not to miss one.
But still no miracle was happening.
He reread a pile of books on all religions and memorized all the prayers.
But still no miracle happened.
And since he was already in his twilight years, he was greatly distressed, realizing that he had spent his whole life waiting for something that did not exist.
He sank into thought, stopped communicating with anyone, stopped eating and drinking.
And then he suddenly realized that the miracle is that the world around him is just as it is, and it is beautiful. That he had lived his life honestly, without giving in to temptation. The miracle was that he had grown from a boy into a man who did his job well and earned respect. The miracle was the love and children that his beloved wife had given him. The miracle was his grandson, who stood next to him and tugged at his pants. And then, for the first time in his life, he cried, rejoicing in all of this.
