Miracles авторский перевод на английский

Someone believed in miracles all his life. He believed that a miracle is, when the natural course of things is disrupted, and something unusual happens, that surprises and delights everyone around him. He was an optimist and hoped that miracles happen, and that they surely would happen to him.
But the miracle never happened.
However, he continued to believe, drew wonderful pictures in his imagination, and thought of his participation in all this.
But the miracle did not happen.
He knew that a miracle is a very rare thing, and it is very difficult to be around, at the time of its occurrence, and was very careful not to miss it.
The miracle still didn't happen.
He read a lot of books on all religions, learned all the prayers by heart.
But the miracle didn't happen.
And since he was already at the end of his years, he became very sad, realizing that he had been waiting all his life for something that does not exist.
He sank into reflection, stopped communicating with anyone, stopped eating and drinking.
And then he suddenly realized, that the miracle is that the world around him is like that, and it is beautiful. That he had lived his life honestly, without giving in to temptation. The miracle is that he grew from a boy into a man, who did his job well and earned his respect. A miracle is the love and children, that his beloved woman gave him. A miracle is a grandson, who stands next to him and pulls his pant leg. And then he cried for the first time in his life, happy about it all.
