VIDEO: Blind Dad Sees His Wife and Child for the First Time, Has Priceless Reaction!

While we may or may not believe, miracles happen every day. We’re not just talking about the kind that a God would perform, but also a miracle that each and every one could try and make happen for someone we love. Even in times when some things seem utterly impossible, there is still a slight possibility with the help of others.

When you feel like you can’t do something don’t be afraid to ask for help because surely there are people that love you and would like to do anything to help you and they might actually get things done.

Sometimes miracles happen, in the real world, and even on television.

Imagine being married to a woman whose face you’ve never seen. Or being called “daddy” by your son, and not knowing what he looks like. Imagine living every day without the blessing of sight—something that most of us take for granted without even realizing it.

According to faithit.com, that’s the reality for Gene Purdie, who was born with Stargardt’s disease. It’s an eye disease that effects the retina and allows him to only see faint glimpses around the edges of whatever he looks at.

Though he was born with the condition, Gene wasn’t formally diagnosed until he was 16 years old. He went on to meet the love of his life, Joy, and after getting married, the two welcomed their son, Lincoln.

She hadn’t been able to see her sister’s smile in over 10 years. With the help of a special pair of electronic glasses, the guest on Rachael’s show was actually able to see!

The technology is engineered by a company called eSight, which specializes in revolutionary eye wear technology that allows people with visual impairment to see again.

Watching it all unfold on the TV screen in front of her, Joy was completely overwhelmed. She wrote a letter to the show, in hopes that they might give her family the same amazing opportunity.

Those prayers were answered, and the family of three from Denver made their way to New York City to appear on the show.

Once they were on, the audience and everyone in the studio wasn’t sure at first if the technology had worked. Then Gene looked toward his wife and the words just slipped out of his mouth, “She’s pretty.”

As you can imagine, the couple was totally overwhelmed with emotion, and Gene was just soaking up all of the full images of things he’s been “piecing together, a little at a time” for 16 years.

To cap it all off, Rachael Ray then announced that the company eSight is gifting Gene and his family with the $15,000 glasses! Now he has the opportunity to see his wife every day and watch his son grow up in ways that he’s never been able to before.

Sight or no sight, one thing is for sure, Gene is full of life. It’s clear that his inability to see the world around him has never hindered his joy or spirit.
