Blind man gets choked up seeing his family for the first time in 19 years

A legally blind man from Halifax, Massachusetts, was able to see his family after nearly two decades without sight, thanks to cutting-edge technology. "It was incredibly surreal,” the father of four said. "I’d still pictured my wife as a younger version of herself, but she still is as beautiful as ever.” Joe Vasconcelos, 53, suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative disease. His family is hoping to raise$10,000 to purchase the high-tech E-sight glasses.
