3. When I got glasses as a young child, I was totally blown away. On the way home I got so excited

that I could see some cows out in the fields. Then when we got home I stopped as I walked across the grass in our front yard and just started yelling "I can see the blades of grass". Everywhere was like Disneyland because the world had been blurry for so long. I thought everybody just saw things that way.

4. I got my first pair of glasses on my seventh birthday.

When we got outside, I told my mom that I could see the leaves on the trees. She started crying!

Moms are pretty special.

10. Yep...My mother didn't let her emotions show in front of me right at the time it happened,

but the next day I overheard her getting emotional as she talked to our neighbor about how she felt when I got so excited about seeing things. She was happy I could see now but felt terrible that I hadn't been seeing well before. Thanks for sharing, Staph. Blessings to our moms.

5. I had the same reaction.

Before my first pair, I just assumed everyone saw the same blurry mess. Getting my first pair of glasses was an amazing experience.

6. TY. I was 2 y/o when I got my first pair...

I don't even remember! I'm extremely near sighted like her.

It was bc when my mom was pushing me around in my stroller and strangers - men would come up to her to compliment her I'd go "daddy !" to each of them!
Surely, that wasn't right. My 💖 smart mom!

Happy Sigh for sweet Riley! 🥰
