Husband spends two years planting thousands of flowers for his blind wife to smell.

After his wife lost her eyesight at the age of 52, this man planted a carpet of scented pink flowers outside their house to make her smile again.

Mr and Mrs Kuroki married in 1956. They had two children and settled into a happy life as dairy farmers in Shintomi Town, Japan.

It was tough work but, as they grew older, they started to plan their retirement – they were going to travel around Japan together.

But, after 30 years of marriage when Mrs Kuroki was 52-years-old, she lost her eyesight over the space of a week, due to complications with her diabetes.
