I'm not usually affected by 'sad' stories in the media but after reading this on Thursday I felt sad all day and I couldn't help but keep talking to my girlfriend about it.

In an instant his life as he knew it was taken away from him. Being born blind is unfortunate but you would know no different. His whole way of life was taken from him, everything that he had done in his life would never be the same.

How could he ever get enjoyment from anything, can never drive a car, ride a bike, go for a walk, see his friends and families faces, enjoy the sights on a summers day the list is endless and it must have been so frustrating as he had no chance to prepare for it. He said adapting to being blind was too hard to accept, the shooting he could accept.

How his wife couldn't find it inside herself to keep the marriage going and give every second of her time to him I'll never know. I'm sure he was unbearable to live with and life was exhausting but I'd rather live like that than not be able to live with myself for walking away. In my opinion she walked away when the chips were down.

Heartbreaking stuff to know he was so sad, frustrated and angry that he could never see a good life for himself. I read he said that someone told him it can take 10 years to adapt to being blind and he said he couldn't see past the next 12 months. so fucking sad, I hope there is a hell and Moat is paying the price.
