A month after he was born, his mother noticed that his eyes weren't quite as big as a normal baby's.“Billy would never be able to see,”the doctor told his mother. After that Billy's mother began talking to him, describing things she saw. She told him what she was cooking, or what she saw outside the window. She described everything to him.
