There are some things in life that are just so extraordinary that they make you happy and emotional at the same time. For instance, this hearing-impaired baby’s priceless reaction to hearing her sister’s voice for the very first time. And this mom’s super sweet reply to her daughter’s dating choices.
When Twitter user @YoungBullBlade shared a video of his uncle David Turner, we had a similar reaction. His uncle is blind and yet shoots a ball through a basket with 100% accuracy using his nephew’s voice to determine direction.
My uncle blind y’all, and made a free throw on his first try pic.twitter.com/aHYSFmm9Ri

That too in his very first attempt. And the way his nephews celebrate the score with excited dancing and cheering is making the video go viral on social media. Currently, it has a whopping 42,000 retweets to its name.
The emotional and exuberant video is setting serious family goals and the internet is in agreement. Here is what netizens are saying after watching it.
@YoungBullBlade thanks for sharing this g, my daughter was born blind. The emotion in this video hit home. Blessings 🙏🤝

I can't figure out what I love most, the free throw or the family celebrating after he did it.

The proud family has now created an Instagram handle for their uncle by the name @elderblindshot and the apt bio reads “Shoot By Faith, And Not By Sight.” How wonderful is that? Basketball fan or not, this video deserves to be seen on a loop for it is pure magic!
