Gene Wasn’t Different
We need to understand the fact that Gene was suffering from Stargardt’s disease and his vision was blurry instead of a total blackout. Despite his disability, he relied on an easy yet effective way to see words clearly. His wife advised him to use his cellphone and the idea did seem to work. Gene would simply zoom into books by using his phone’s camera and he got back to cooking and being a great chef. He would surprise his wife with the new recipes that he learned but the family was yet to receive the surprise of their life.
