Louise is a sweet little baby that loves to hear her mom sing "Amazing Grace." She is also a beautiful little girl that has albinism. Albinism.org describes what having it entails: people with albinism have little or no pigment in their eyes, skin, or hair. They have inherited altered genes that do not make the usual amounts of a pigment called melanin. This inherited condition effects 1 in 17,000 people in the US of any race. While effecting pigmentation, it also is linked to vision and skin problems.
Louise can't see well because of this, but, in this video, she is getting a pair of glasses for the very first time. She can now really see what her mom looks like. This video is short and only gives you a glimpse of this mother's relationship with her daughter and her daughter's reaction to seeing her, but every second of it is full of sweetness.
