Both blind, they found each other through sound before meeting in person. Now married and working together to help other blind and disabled people, they are building a life grounded in faith, independence, and a hard-won understanding of what it means to see truly. Welcome to ‘See Me, Hear Me: LOVE AT FIRST SOUND’
