66 year old Bodybuilder William Reed sees color for first time

Born colorblind, William lived his whole life in back and white. For his 66th birthday, his family decided to pitch in together to buy Enchroma glasses that have color correcting lenses that help the colorblind see color. This video is his expression to opening his gift and witnessing color for the first time.

"What colors do you see?"
"Those"
That's a fair explanation by someone who hasn't seen those colors

[christophersantos]

the way he swings his arm in disbelief and amazement, so sweet

[Hirath]

he looked like a happy child swinging his hands by his side.

[shivabarod]

'What colours do you see?'
'Those'
Oh man, This made me cry.

[Ren]

He’s just so happy he doesn’t even know what to do with himself. Truly wholesome.

Things we take for granted can make a 66 years old man cry of hapyness and joy.

[dwgirl]

I love that the family didn't bombard him immediately with questions and let him enjoy it for a moment. It made it so much better.

To see a grown man, in his elder years, who has lived his life and endured all of the pain, suffering, and hardship that has come with it, become so overwhelmed by pure joy and happiness that he begins to exhibit the child-like behaviors of swinging his arms and clapping all while weeping at the same time, is one of the most moving things I've ever seen.

The sweetest reaction, he went back to being a kid re-discovering the world.

[jurgenvandenbergh]

I can't imagine. But it must feel like being born again or setting foot on another planet.

[stzvn]

I was smiling so hard because he looked so disappointed to get sunglasses but little did he know...

[madula]

It almost brought me to tears seeing this man cheer like a child and enjoy hapiness and joy of seeing colors!

[globalklaus]

I've never seen anyone go from 66 years of age to 6 in a video before. Look at his body language. Thanks for sharing this. Really warmed my heart.

[josa]

Respect to the family for keeping their mouths shut and letting the man enjoy his first moments of seeing colour.

[genesiscruz]

I love how he keeps taking his glasses off and on. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Tears of joy.

[gummybear]

He's getting excited like a little kid, I love it!!😁

[ZacharyLaid]

Youtube recommends the most random videos, but this is probably one of the best ones.

[isheep]

When he started swinging his hands my heart melted and i started tearing up

[garyshively]

That man's senses were just thrown immediately into hyper drive and his reaction was just pure joy. Kudos to the family, that was really cool to watch. The things we take for granted...
