A heartwarming story of two Ohio sisters, Alyssa and Annalicia, takes over the internet
Alyssa tweeted this picture after her sister could read a menu for the first time
Alyssa tweeted: 'My sister has been in this world for 18 years and today is the first time she has been offered a menu at a restaurant'
On Monday night, the two with their grandmother and brother went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, but were met with a pleasant surprise while ordering for food. Annalicia has been visually-impaired since birth and a visit to the restaurant always meant someone would tell her a couple of things to order from or she would stick to the basic “chicken and fries”.
But for the first time, Annalicia was handed down a menu that she could read:It was in Braille. (Invented in the 1800s, Brailleaids the visually-impaired in reading. It is usually read by moving fingers over the raised dots on the paper.)
