Totally blind senior had his sight restored as he talked to a photo of his deceased wife.
This is a sweet story. An elderly man who lost his sight due to macular degeneration sight regained his sight as he held a photo of his deceased wife which he does daily to tell her of the day's events. Doctors are mystified.

Describing the life-changing moment, Mr Hudspeth said: 'I have a television and I was listening to it, trying to make out the stories and what was happening. That night, I was listening to one particular story and in the adverts I looked over to my left where there is a picture of my late wife.

'So I picked it up as I speak to her every night and tell her what I have been doing.

'Then when I looked back to the television I could see the picture in full colour. I was terrified. I actually thought I was losing the plot or losing my marbles.'

He went on: 'I got up at 6am the same morning and went for a walk. I just did not feel tired.'

5. It really is a remarkable story. Macular degeneration is as far as I know
not reversible. Ir really underlines the truth that there is a lot we don't understand which is a very positive message.
