A loving sister helps her older brother who is blind experience a waterslide for the very first time by finding ways to “be his eyes” to overcome his fears. In the wholesome video, Ocean Dunford, aged six, is seen guiding her brother Ashton, 10, to the slide before offering him encouragement to slide down with her. The pair's mom, Hilda, 32, from Utah, captured the moment on video - as well as Ash's slide itself, which she said took a lot of courage. Ahead of the moment, which took place on June 1 at Splash Summit Waterpark, Ash was extremely nervous about the prospect of a waterslide. He was born blind with a condition called Septo Optic Dysplasia, which means he has underdeveloped optic nerves, and uses a white cane. Hilda said Ocean has always looked for ways to "be his eyes,” and before heading to the ride, the six-year-old described what the sensation would feel like to her brother.
