@ZarcoBruhh HI
@ZarcoBruhh sameee hi guys
Hi
Hi real stories, what’s up?
His son might not realise it now. But when he’s older he’s gonna be so proud of his dad.
Yea
truth
And the chipmunks he lives with now
Hide San why would he be traumatized? Nothing detrimental has happened to the kid or at least we know off. Just cause he is scared now doesn’t mean he’s going to be scared forever. He’s just to young to understand what is happening. When he understands he won’t be afraid anymore.
Tee Hamster I agree
His wife is an extremely loyal and strong woman. This is love, she stayed with him through thick and thin, in sickness and in health
This is true undying love ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m sure they weren’t married, though I’m only part way through watching this, so might change before the end.
Kayla Nguyen No as someone else pointed out, he said no to marrying her. They are not or were not married, but may well be by now! They lived together, she must really love that guy, I think they are perfect for each other. They have a strong relationship and know when to make a daft joke and it’s not taken wrong. I’m Scottish but I now live in England as my hubby and son are English. Over her when talking about them, if they were married, they would say his wife or her husband, they wouldn’t say partner. Best wishes, for health and happiness in these strange times xxxAnnxxx
Omg thanks Kay
Kay SHE IS STRONG
When the son becomes a teenager, I believe he will love his father 1000x more once he truly understands.
He will be traumatized forever for seeing his dad losing limbs, and will be bullied at school for his dad's looks. A lot of psychiatrists will serve him.
Stop forcing that kid to hug and kiss and love him. Just leave him be and he will learn.
He might be bullied and is traumatized, but it's up to his mother to teach him to be a good person anyway. To teach him empathy, love, and compassion. Like another commenter said, once the son gets older, he will truly understand. Because I would rather have my dad alive without limbs, than no dad at all. @@asosyalpicimamk
@@asosyalpicimamk and then the cynic will bring up the fine details of misery like anybody asked or would ever ask...
SLENDER+ YES I AGREE, TREMENDOUS SACRIFICES HE HAS MADE FOR THE KID
The fact that this was caused by bacteria that normally lives harmlessly on the surface of your skin is terrifying! Makes you think that this could happen to anyone, at any time. I deeply admire his wife for being so devoted to him.
It truly can I know someone who lost both feet and hands. There was no rash, but she felt terrible and had a low grade fever for days. I think her disaster started with a bladder infection, but what I mean is it's terrifying how vulnerable we all truly are.
Nothing has been explained as to why this happened. Stop freaking out. There was a cause to this.
@@lilo7741It was explained in the documentary. He got a sepsis from a bacteria that lives on the surface of the human skin, but in his case it turned out infectious and it started to attack the tissues and organs in his body.
@@207humanity why did it turn out infectious. That’s the key point everybody is interested to know. How did a bacteria evade him immune system?
@@lilo7741It wasn’t that the bacteria evaded his immune system, it was the immune systems reaction to the bacteria that caused the extensive inflammation//sepsis. his immune system was fighting the infection but then at the same time started attacking his normal tissues as well.
Tho I understand what you’re saying in regards to wondering WHY a bacteria that is normally harmless caused his immune system to go bonkers. I guess it has something to do w how some people get sick by things that other people have no reaction to- it just depends on how your immune system works.
Remember she married a soul not a body
Yes ❤
Omg please don't say anything because i can't stop crying
@@caglakaracay1126 yeah it is better to look at the personality of a person than his looks
How do people not get it?
@@Lady.B0420 i hope u get me right
Jesus Christ... That man is stronger than me. If my children pulled back in fear from me... I'd die.
I feel you
I feel you. I honestly would just let my family members choose for me to die.
He must be INTP. We tend to only see the things as they are. Logic is our motto, this is who I am? This is who I will be and surpass my limits.
I feel bad cause I did that to my mom. Me and my sister cried bc my mom did surgery and she looked so scary ;-;
@@miaokatt dont feel bad
I've had this exact thing happen to me in 2017, but luckily I rushed myself to an ER the minute my lips started turning purple. What I thought was a ' cold ' turned out to be a severe double pneumonia with sepsis caused by strep A. How I wasn't able to 'feel' how serious my condition was, is still beyond me. The docs were pretty angry I waited so long, but I honestly thought it was just a bad cold. I didn't even notice my saturation was dropping by the minute.
I too had a 2 yr old running around.
I came pretty close to dying, but through sheer luck I got out of this unharmed ( well at least for the most, my energy levels still are that of 90 yr old ) after a year of rehabilitation.
He's a brave man and I'm so sorry to see the damage this can do. It's heartbreaking and I find this so unfair.
HOW DID YOU GET IT? SEPSIS?
@@Speedster189 CLOWN
@@leelunk8235 they had pneumonia, any infection could cause sepsis
@@theogdeer I KNOW..I WAS ASKING GEORGINA HOW SHE GOT IT
This happened to my best friend about 6 months ago. She got a hypoxic brain injury. She was able to walk a bit when leaving hospital but she is barely able to stand now. It's absolutely awful
My father died when I was 7, I am now 34 years old and I cannot remember him. I would much rather have my father around, no matter what he looks like then no father.
❤️
just imagine his son avoiding him, it will be the worst pain of his life.
Might wanna kill myself 2b honest. He is a strong man.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😱
Pretty sure being like that would be the worst pain.
@@tituswheatbread9646 ya bro.
@@asosyalpicimamk ya, he is lucky that he got back his dad.
I can not imagine how this man's self-esteem and confidence and anxiety actually his mental health...he is the strong one here...he really do have a loyal and loving wife..

@Mutlu Sarıtaş sadly this man has accomplish more things then you ever will be able to so shut yer trap
@@asosyalpicimamk Aren't you the purest definition of a "hopeless" Moron!
He really does have a loyal and loving wife
When your son grows up to see this he will know what a fighter his dad is. Keep fighting. The technology is getting better you will be robo dad running, hugging, working, cooking and making more babies before you know it.
The poor son will be traumatized forever with a lot of psychiatrists serving him, and will be bullied by his school mates for his dad's looks, only God knows what 5u1c1d4l thoughts he's living with.
@@asosyalpicimamk- what a presumptuous and idiotic thought process to have.
@@Halzel If it happened to my parents I'd be traumatized forever and wouldn't dare to see their faces or have meals with them, for example. I'd need an army of psychiatrists to help me.
@asosyalpicimamk Thats you then, i guess
@@asosyalpicimamk - Hmm very telling indeed. This is actually quite a profound insight into several important aspects of your personality, your social insight and your familial ties. At first I thought you were just yet another internet troll trying to get dopamine hits, however i see now i was wrong and you were actually being truthful. My mistake, apologies. Best of luck to you going forward.
As a doctor myself i see cases in the emergency room everyday that break my heart but this one hits different, i have to say i have mad respect for him because he carried on with his life and i can already tell that patients who exprience amputation resort to depression quite often or surrender to bieng disabled and to this way of life but he did not , also i can't even describe how lucky he is to have a strong and resilient woman as lucy she is the type of woman that can lead people which by the way very rare these days but she stayed all the way till the end and she did not gave the impression that she sad or suffering even by a tiny bit in this entire video i have mad respect for the woman she is
Doctor...yeah right! Worst grammar, syntax and spelling I've ever seen a doctor write.
@a1b9c2 exactly my thoughts. This " Doctor " who can't spell, use grammar correctly, or even understand the need for full stops. I'm sure there's a joke here somewhere about a semicolon too....
I mean they could be dyslexic I mean I have dyslexia and it affects my spelling and grammar
Why the hate, people?
Everyone’s talking about how strong the wife is, but I gotta respect how the kid still looks up to his dad
dude his son is just like his mom
i mean the kid prolly couldn’t understand what he had he’s like three
Why wouldn’t he look up to him.... his dad is a survivor
Shes amazing
Same
Mad respect for him. You can see the pain in his eyes when his son doesn't want to kiss him. It's crazy how much bad luck one can have.
Look in the end Sam kissed his dad...... I feel so happy to see that....
@• sleepy • 16 years ago is that ironic?
@@tatethetottle Hes just saying respect to those who endure pain, the ''all'' is just meant as respect to the full extent.. :)
I'm respect you from Indonesia ❤️
mexican_ peanut : yes she still love ‘s him🙂🥰
It's amazing to think somebody has lived through what is literally my worst nightmare and still came out strong
It's really wonderful to come across people who freely share valuable information online. You never know what kind of knowledge you might stumble upon that could have a lasting impact on your life.
Don't procrastinate when it comes to saving and investing. Don't wait for the perfect timing; start now because the current moment is the best time to invest.
What specific type of investment are you referring to? I'm aware that making money through investing is not as straightforward as it may appear.
Cryptocurrency trading appears to be quite lucrative. Despite the constantly changing nature of Bitcoin, it's evident that the cryptocurrency community is here to stay. John Joseph, you're doing an excellent job.
I apologize for interrupting, but I have been searching for assistance with this type of trading as my work consumes most of my time, leaving me with limited opportunities to focus on trading. How can I get to know him?

His wife has a heart of gold.
Esa es la madre que me hubiese gustado tener
A very good woman. Don't meet a lot of them.
@Galo Ojeda Obsidian? No its bedrock
Thats truel love
Thats true love
His son avoids him, his wife is suffering for him. Yet he still fights, believing that he will someday, make everything go back to normal. What an absolute chad. People with strong wills are better to look up to than celebrities you barely know.
Why haven't anyone said anything
@Justin G average sad video comment enjoyer
@@cloudrz fr
@pm PM exactly
Celebrities are definitely not the ones to admire & look up to.
Life is so unfair...Huge respect for Alex, for being a warrior..and to his wife for staying and supporting her husband. We can see the beauty of his father in the boy's face...The wife is amazing!
I felt for him when he first woke up at the hospital. I cried the entire video. You've inspired me man, thank you so much and God bless you 🙏🏿❤️
I need to be more thankful about my life..
We all have problems in our lives just because they're not as bad as this guy's doesn't mean you don't have any!
Honestly!!! We need to count our blessings!!!
Me too
Even if we have to stay in due to COVID19, nothing in my life compares to this!
Me too
A guy's son was scared of his own father by the dad's look I can't believe how much he must have suffered dang
bruh I'm scared of my dads look ;-;
TenTJx Vamista not like that tho
I cut my fkn hair and my 8 month old wouldn't even look at me without crying ;_;
Charlie Gill poor guy
i hope the kid doesn't feel too bad about this once he grows up and understands what happened
but boy is that tragic
Just goes, to show when you think your life is hard and things are tough. Think about those in the world that are going through something like this, my heart goes out to this man.
Heartbreaking at first, but deeply inspirational. The courage exhibited is a great lesson for all. His wife an ever shinning gem.
This man married the closest thing to an angel on earth. If only we could all be as lucky to find such a significant other.
So true she's an amazing woman
Nop.you wouldn't wish to have his luck.
I can't even get friends I'm jealous
I didn’t get to see the whole video.. so he said he didn’t want to get married at the beginning, I assuming they did? Is that correct? I hope so!!
They are not married yet. They still engaged. Because in the last minutes of this video said that they celebrate their engagement. And it relate with their joke about "will you marry me? - no"
Wish they will marriage and their love grow up more and more.
“That’s the old daddy”
That broke my heart
Me too! ❤️🩹
im cry
that made my heart sad to💔
legit all these comments are true 😭😭 (besides the ones being rude)
The footage around 14:00 just made me want to cry. Dogs show such unconditional love. I'm sure it was a huge help to him through all this.
Alex seems like such a loveable person. This whole family is just pure love ❤
When she goes "you still look like a clown" and he just shakes his head "no" even though he knows shes joking you can just feel how badly he doesnt want to look like this. Poor soul
Not MLG what time

Tricksterino thanks
Cus she’s horrible

She was trying to lift the mood up, don’t mean for people like you to understand
He lost all his body parts. But the one thing he did not lose is his personality.
But if the bacteria attacked the brain too... Then Alex would not be Alex anymore
If you feel depression and anxiety 😭 PLEASE WATCH THIS GUY HOW Optimistic he is👍👍👍 czcams.com/video/OHSZmnssKL8/video.html
His heart!
@@HungVu-gy5nb his life is still the same as anyone else’s, he’s rlly strong
James Nguyen no the only one is not lost is his heart ❤️
Alex has gone up in life. He’s a hero. He and his family are an inspiration for the world. Some people are chosen to be heroes and these people personify that.
Not to be a jerk, but how is he a hero? He is a survivor of something terrible. We need to stop throwing that word around. He is a survivor, not a hero. The doctors who saved his life are heroes.
Strong woman and strong man, I think we all take for granted all the minimum movements that we do with our hands, our feet or any other parts of our body.
I wish this Man the best.
this woman deserves everything. The best mom,wife, everything
Mom?? wife?? Nah that doesn't sound right
Did you say women
She has become his new hero I’m sure.
Edit it and take out mom
CD Clapps why would you say that?
I was crying when his son wouldnt kiss him and when he showed a picture of him and Alex said "thats the old daddy". This video gave me so much inspiration that I am very lucky I have everything I need bc there is ppl out suffering and have nothing. (This guy is very strong!!)
Because due to INGURED lips
@@cell6554 thats just so insensitive
Kids don't like kisses, I mean, I didn't like it when I was a kid. I think the father understood. This people are really brave and strong.
@@cell6554 Are you kidding me? Stfu.
@@picoperson3514 Did u know not everyone is the feely feely sensitive type?
watching this amazed me and made me remember my dad. my father died of skin cancer in 2014, in the final stage there was a massive scar on the right side of his head and he looked zombified, he looking like a rotting corps in the final weeks, his eyes were died no shine almost looked like his soul left his body. it was horrible but this documentary made me so happy . he even in his state his family was there for him and stayed by his side even in his state. my family couldn't be in the same room as my dad, the sight of him made them want to cry when i saw him on his deathbed he turned his head slightly like he saw me. he opened his mouth slightly tried to say a word then died minutes later only. almost no one was there for him so when i saw Alex and his family help and support him it made me happy to see a family get through something so terrible.
Brought tears to my eyes. A really inspiring story. Hope Alex and his family are doing even better now.
when the kid grows up, he'll realize how great and heroic his parents are

YV-HE W you don’t have to be married to truly mean you love someone.. most married people are cheating and getting divorced
Deathtrap 400 I think you have to get married and don’t cheat. That’s the perfect life and of course God has to be first in your life.
William Noe yeah if its part of your religion you do, but I know the Bible talks about husband and wife, what’s the actual scripture that says you have to be married though?
Deathtrap 400 you only become husband and wife when you’re married though
You absolute bloody legend. Your story amazes me. Your strength, fight, and outlook are fantastic. You have a wonderful family too. Im sorry this happened to you, but youve faced it like a boss. I have recently had cancer surgery and lost half of my neck, ear, some of my face, tongue, and thigh from where the flap was taken. I am paralysed down the right side of my face. I know of the looks and stares. My injuries arent as bad (not the right word there) as yours and I have tried to face it with as much strength as you. You inspire me. You'll inspire many others
Man seeing him cry made me emotional. Makes you appreciate what we have and not take anything for granted.
He's a person who doesn't need pity. He managed to climb a mountain in that condition figuratively and literally. Instead, he should be an inspiration for everyone.
satrick speaking fax
I like ur pfp
Thank you
I definitely feel tons of pity for him tho tbh
what a beautiful dad legend
I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone. Not even my worst enemy
Ok probbaly my worst enemy

@@ehmehsmeh824 when you grow up you'll realize those things don't matter, your friend isn't your friend if they went with your ex behind your back. There's plenty of people out there so don't waste your time on the ones who toy with you. You might miss "the good ol days" but trust me, those people won't even be in your life when you grow up. As an adult myself, none of my high school pals talk anymore. And I don't know any adult friends who hang out with their "school buddies" think about it, do you know any adults that still see their school friends? Not really. Maybe rarely, because most of the time people just settle for what they can get for a friend. Don't settle. Do with my advice what you will, I just know that I've had the same scenario, getting cheated on and all.. don't get hung up on it, not enough to wish a devil disease on them anyway. Like I said, when you grow up, you'll realize the impact of that statement. As for your friends, their young, sometimes hormones take over and you definitely can't be mad at one and not the other. I wish someone told me not to waste so much effort worrying about other people that have hurt me, and just move on, and get better friends and partners that *actually* make me happy.
I just know I wish someone told me this as a teen. I'm now 32, and don't talk to any exes or friends. You grow up, do other things where you make new friends. Especially when you have kids, your world changes, so don't worry, they'll both be history in the scrapbook of your life in years time, mark my words. Good luck young one. Much love. Spread the love, and be happy. Hate takes too much energy. ♥️
You're a true inspiration, Alex. A real life super hero for your son and wife. Hats off to you.
This is a man in real struggle. God Bless him!! So blessed to hear his family stayed w him!! ❤️
I met this guy. While I was a student nurse, he came to give a talk on sepsis. Afterwards he came around and spoke to us all individually. Absolutely amazing guy. Had us all in tears x
how lucky you are tbh......
Strep Grp A happens a lot more often than we know. I was part of a team who took care of a 1yr old in the Foster Care system who got Strep A. She lost all of her toes, most of her fingers but she kept on being a toddler. I WISH I knew how her life went on...she would be about 48 yrs old now. I hope she went on to be awesome and to help others.
I would love to see an update video of this guy and his family. I'm sure he has made lemonade out of what happened to him.
Спасибо🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 всем кто был с ним трудный днииии.

Im crying. I cant even imagine that, waking up to find limbs amputated. This poor man. His wife loves him so much. He was, and still is so handsome.
Beautiful comment
God bless him
God bless him and his family
Come on now....
I can't imagine it either. I have never really heard of a strep infection taking over someone's body like this.
Alex, you have the respect of millions for your spirit, your tremendous efforts to be the man she loves, and the father Sam needs. You also have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen in a man.
WHAT A MAN ..crying does not help anybody...but I could not help it! What a fight he has for the rest of his life..I WISH THIS MAN THE BEST THERE IS...
So much pain in his eyes yet so much strength in his soul.
That's such a beautiful and correct statement
How long can he stay strong? I bet not so long...We humans should stop putting so much of our money and attention into such mindless entertainment such as people punching each other inside a cage so we could reduce the suffering of people like this in the video...... Instead we should put all our money and attention into supporting the transhumanist movement so we could benefit the people like the person in this video or benefit the whole human race itself.......If you don't know about Transhumanism, I highly recommend that you research about it because it will change the course of humanity....... Transhumanism is simply about augmenting or enhancing our bodies and mind.....thank you for reading my comment and I hope you spread the message and if you're skeptical then just ask me what you're skeptical about, I'm more than happy to answer :)
So agree with you Scott a remarkable man, a beautiful wife and son.
@@SignificantPressure100 if I was rich or famous,I'd help people like this man/father. I see the pain in his eyes but,he's fighting no matter what. I cried 2 but,at the same time I admire his strength,his courage,his hope,his fatherness,his will.

The PAIN he must've felt when his son refused to kiss him and when he was afraid of him.
Yes the same disappointment probably his “partner” felt whenever she asked him to marry her and he refused at all times.
Is no possible I not look imaginez, is very amanzing because is real !!!
That would've been the worst part of the whole thing..i was so happy at the end when his son kissed him I started to cry
@froyo Yes. Why wouldn't it be?
@froyo same question..why wouldn't it be ..would you think it acceptable for a mother to kiss their child
What a awesome woman to stay by his side during this tragedy. How could some sick minded people ever find humor in making fun of others that's different or sick? My prayers go out to him and his family 🙏
I am truly humbled by this guy and his wonderful family. I will try to be a better person because of his courage and determination.
This man is the strongest person I have seen till date.

@@asosyalpicimamk she didn't say God blessed him, read before you write something so idiotic. Maybe you should stop spreading false information?
@@asosyalpicimamk Stop blaming God for everything bad that happen's. I'm sick of hearing that and why bring negativity into this when Alex has strived so much to overcome the negativity that could have consumed him. Oh and to call his life now hellish is disgusting and wrong on so many level's..
His little boy has the bravest dad in the world.
Yeah
Yeah.
True.
No,the bravest mom in the world...
Extraordinary doesn't begin to cover this story. Its so heartwarming. Two very strong and determined people.
You can't control what challenges life will throw at you but you can control how you respond to the challenges. Alex is responding at the highest level. Very inspirational!
His wife is the kindest person ever because she chose him for him not his looks she. Is a amazing person
I'd like to ask one question to that man. "are you happy, or are you fighting for her" if the later, I can make her understand.
I'd just like to point what I mean is... is he truly happy EXISTING, and being taken care of like a child. or is he truly happy.
I watch a man being nursed in the hospital I was in for brain cancer surgery... looking at his eye's while the nurse's changes his diapers was unforgetable. All I seen in his eye's were "please, let me die"
She said he was amazingly handsome
Why did she say she wont feel sorry for him?
She told him that he looked like a clown when he got his mouth and lips. Clearly he was upset and sad behind it.
@@sarahmoonnoon1536 definitely that's why he shook his head

I’m humbled and amazed by this beautiful, courageous family.
They are SO good for each other. It's absolutely incredible! I love his son didn't take much time to start giving him kisses. I try to stay mindful of my actions/emotions but I'm human so I fall short and this fuels my motivation to be better. Thanks for posting!
Really? All he did was drink while she was exhausted running two pubs and then after the illness she's taking care of him. Sounds like SHE'S good for him and he's just existed and not done much in their relationship.
His woman was the catalyst. She never left him. And didnt think about it. True love.

I really feel ashamed and stupid for crying over silly things while others are striving for better life despite everything
For real.
bayan waeel me too it’s easy to take life for granted but I feel the same way sad humbled and a little ashamed
I've been going through a horrible depression and sucide has been a constant thought. Seeing this makes me feel ashamed of myself
bayan waeel me too!!!
Same here, my friend.
No, I couldn't watch it without tears. An incredibly strong family! Especially the little kid. He held the spirit in his parents with a strength that even the pyramids don't have! He never let his parents down. There was a moment when I felt that this little boy would eventually collapse and sink into depression, but he didn't! He soon accepted that his life had changed, thus easing the difficult situation of his parents, especially his father! You are a wonderful little person! Stay strong as an adult, because this terrible world that needs your bright smile needs to be strong like that! You saved your father, and with it your mother!💝💝💝👪
His wife is a diamond who supports him at every stage of life
This is what we called true love
When you see cases like this, everything you don't like about yourself becomes silly
True
This is so true. This comment makes me want to embrace myself
Absolutely.
That's so truee! The only way you can feel about this is being thankful!
until it causes paycological damage and you cant live with yourself.
Alex might just be one of the bravest, strongest people on this planet. He will hold his head up and continue, I’m sure of it
One if not the most

@@AgentMk07 I would have begged the doctors to kill me. I couldn't be seen like that. He's a much bigger man than myself
God bless this man’s support system and this man ! I pray many blessing upon his family and I pray that he prays as well🙏🏼
Would you marry him?
Alex you're an inspiration to me. I'm in total admiration of you and your perseverance. Also, you truly hit the jackpot with Lucy, now thats TRUE UNCONDITIONAL love. Sending love to you and your family all the way from the United States.

Right...

Just imagine being feard by your own child
Is one of the worst feeling you will ever have
Poor guy😭
I’d cry every night. Imagine knowing your own child knowing you dont look right and seeing the fear in the childs eyes.
Fachri can you not call him horrifying? He really isn’t it’s just the lips that might look weird but he’s not horrifying. You make me sick
@@igetpeoplemadsometimes9502 okih :)

Fachri thank you.
Such strong people.
Alex and Lucy. This gives me motivation to try harder with mental issues and depression
This is 110% Unconditional Love, God bless
Just imagine a kid look at you and say “Is that a monster mummy?”
God I feel so bad for him
He didn’t deserve this
Especially if that kid is your son

Christian Olsen well do
@@adrent3304 yes
Literally has happened to me and I didn’t even have a major medical problem.
he looked into his wife's eyes like she was the only thing keeping him on this planet
I agree
Ikr? It feels like she's everything to him
Yep
got teary eyed reading this
😭😭😭😭
"what happened to your hook" - "its been amputated"
this guy is absolutely incredible and a wonderful father to his son
This documentary showed me the commitment of their love, the dedication and limitation of the NHS and the power of the community, I hope them all the very best in the future.
His eyes must have cried all the tears possible for a human being, his heart and brain must have gone through extreme agonies and I wish from the bottom of my heart that he succeeded to overcome all these.
I can't even imagine his pain. I just hope he lives the happiest & most peaceful life anyone can live in this world
@@asosyalpicimamk he clings to his very fragile life because of his exceptional wife and his loving son and not for himself.
@@asosyalpicimamk Oooh, I am relieved to hear someone having the same line of thought like you. Totally agree with you because you can't be extremely sad every second of your life. I sincerely have the same wish as yours.
You’re such a wonderful and empathetic person. Never change. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
When he cried about how he thinks life would be so much easier for her without him 😭 and then petting the dog while she simply says "it's love"...I want to be a better person wow.
wander*wish Best part ...people in that situation always says that
The fact that you think that means that you already are a great person.
Since getting married, my husband has been through so much with my health. I’ve had to have my thyroid removed, had trouble stabilizing it with meds, had the thyroid regenerate, had to go through months of infusions for anemia, and then finally breast cancer, the treatments took away everything that made me beautiful, my hair, my long eyelashes, my eyebrows. It made me so so sick. Even though I am in remission, I am still on oral chemo that makes me incredibly sick, and which suppresses my immune system. Through it all, my husband cared for me, loved me, cuddled me, and made me feel as beautiful as ever. It isn’t just the women who stick it through. There are wonderful men out there who are simply amazing. I am so very thankful for my husband.
@@InstaCrg_077 No , Not always . Some people start to see from a different perspective.
@@cloudiamettelli- It's simple. So simple. He loves you.
Truly amazing and inspirational! I have nothing to compIan about my life! Absolutely nothing!! Suffering and trials bring out the real person in all of us, Alex. You’ve been the strong man that you are all your life. Your wife, son, and friends are so blessed to have you in their life. What lessons they must have learned through seeing your perseverance and endurance.
God bless
God bless this man. His strength is something that most people most people don’t have. Much love brother 💙💙💙
the best part was when his son finally gave him a kiss.
Right??? Him talking about missing the physical closeness with his baby broke my heart
@Marina Kirova please stop
It was definitely the best part
I literally broke down in tears
@@estrellaarevalo8699 me too
My heart hurt when the boy wouldn't kiss him.... I can't imagine how difficult this must be for all of them. I wish them all the strength in the world
It must just be a sucker punch to him when his kid refuses to kiss him or hug him that part kinda broke me

Has to be the worse me and my wife can't have children so we are saving to adopt. We as a couple had a gut punch and I can only imagine how he feels when his little boy want hug him or kiss him. My prayer go out to anyone that has pain like this never give up
What an AMAZING INCREDIBLE WOMEN. Research shows most man leave their spouses or partners if they become overweight or medically I’ll. She is a true hero to her self, her son and her partner.
It's sadly true. Conversely, women are less likely to get divorced if a partner gets sick than if their partner is well! My husband of 25 years left me 6 months ago when I got terribly ill. I was in the hospital for 19 days. He took the money, locked me out of accounts, and badmouthed me to everyone as if I had done something wrong to him! Now he has a lawyer and is trying to take everything. I'm shocked, traumatized and still trying to heal. It's a nightmare I never saw coming. I thought he loved me. He never spoke to me again, but I got one email a few months ago from him that said he wasn't "strong enough" to be with me. Meanwhile, he's trying to take our home and get out of any alimony. I will be destitute if he succeeds.
@@mygirldarby- sounds like he is the one that has lost, he is the one that is in massive denial about the cause of the problems that are in his life. Him. His broken personality and by the sounds of it, possibly undiagnosed mental illnesses or conditions. I hope he fails, i hope you rise and DON'T LET THAT PIG TAKE ANYTHING! Such a short time on the planet, don't let one insecure, idiotic despot make the rest of yours unpleasant. Find your happy place again. It's waiting for you.
Mom is so STRONG & I hope she realize how much this will help, build, showcase, exemplify & mold this childb in what a Real woman.. strong..as well for dad looks like. Their family..communication, diligence, love, patience etc.. will reflect this baby upon Adulthood ❤💙🙏🏾
It must be so painful when his kid didn't want to kiss him :(
Yes im sure ((but God love him
apple pie ikr...😞😞
I cried
It's the mom's fault, why would you ask a child to kiss those lips? I didn't even kiss my dads healthy lips let alone his dissolved face lips
@@shatterpointgames you don't have to kiss on the lips. I have never kissed my parents on the lips. Kiss on the cheek could have been fine or even a big hug.
Watching him cry broke my heart. He is being so strong for his wife and son. I admire this man so much.
You're a baby ♡
I read that as "he's so wife for his strong and son" I really gotta get off the crack bro
Es muy triste pero tubieron la fortaleza de seguir adelante 🙏🙏🙏
I really admire his wife also!!

You are a strong person, sir, and so you can get through this. Everday, I have so much pain that I have a difficult time walking more than a few steps unassisted. I feel so sorry for myself. I am ashamed at my lack of strength and perseverance. Blessings to you and your family. 🙏
This is the definition of true love and he is trying so hard. You got this!
His wife saying she isn't going to feel sorry him is wonderful! Alex doesn't want to be pitied, he wants to be respected and she respects and loves him. Wonderful!
Abel is that you?
I didn't get a very wholesome vibe from her. She was mocking him.
@@karlscher5170 trust me there happy together
@@karlscher5170 where at any point does it seem like she’s mocking him? she is telling the story, and in a respectful manner, she is his wife for christ’s sake
