Thanks to the limitless wonders of modern science, 12-year-old Christopher Ward. Jr was recently gifted with the chance to see his loving mother for the very first time. Ward, who’s been legally blind since birth, recently traveled from Forest, Virginia to Washington D.C. to try out a new eSight headset. According to ABC News, the demo of this hands-free miracle device reaped immediate rewards for Ward and his mother.
“The very first thing he did was turn to me and say, ‘Oh, Mommy! There you are!'” Marquita Hackley told ABC News of the eSight demo last week. “And then to hear him say ‘I saw my mom, and she was very pretty’ was so heartwarming.” However, Hackley notes, the fact that her son was able to see her at all “meant the world” to them both. In addition to seeing his mother for the first time, Ward also got the chance to sneak in a classic SpongeBob SquarePants episode.
