HUMBOLT CO., CA (RNN) - Jeff Dishmon has been colorblind his entire life. He saw color for the first time Wednesday, and it brought him to tears.
Dishmon, who is the SWAP Farm Manager for the Humbolt County Sheriff’s Department, received a gift of enchromaglasses from his coworker Samantha Freese.
The two have become close over the eight years they’ve worked together, calling each other “Grandpa” and “Granddaughter.” She and her other correctional deputies pitched in on the cost of the glasses.
The sheriff’s department shared the emotional video of Dishmon’s reaction on their Facebook page.
“What do you see?” Freese asked.
“A different world.” Dismon answered.
Before Wednesday, he didn’t know what the color of his wife’s eyes were, or his daughter’s.
He said he was looking forward to watching a sunset with his wife.
