 At the age of 20, I was in a chemical explosion that left me blind for 31 years. Thanks to a corneal transplant, John was able to see his wife for the first time in 31 years and his children for the first time ever. I looked across and my wife's face was very clear. I told her, I'd like you to know that I can see you now. And I really want you to know, Nita, that the years have been very kind to you. I approached my children.
