This blind man has never seen his wife.🥹🥰
What emotions would you feel if you married someone you’ve never met? Even if you can’t see your family, you’ll still love them.
This is exactly what Gene Purdy had to go through. He was born with a retinal disease that prevents him from seeing. He notices a few misty areas now and then, but that’s it.
Gene had no idea what his family looked like all his life.
Gene’s wife once saw someone with the same disease on the Rachael Ray show. Using a unique technology, he was given the ability to see.
A modern eyeglass firm provided this woman with specialized electronic glasses. Joy was shocked to learn that there was a cure for her disease.
She decided to apply for this program in hopes of giving her family the same fantastic opportunity. After receiving a favorable response, his entire family traveled to Denver to film the episode.
Gene couldn’t stay still on stage. He was apprehensive and doubted that his fantasy would now come true.
The audience thought that when they gave him the glasses, they didn’t work. But Gene said in three words. “She’s beautiful,” as he turned to his wife.
