When Anthea Met Michael
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 07. 2016
- Disabled from a young age, Anthea wondered if she’d ever find love. Little did she know it would be through her passion for sport that she’d find Mr Right. Anthea and Michael might seem like an unlikely couple, but these two are soul mates and can read each other’s minds - ideal in a game like boccia, where communication between partners is very important.

"This is the only body I've got. If I don't love it, who will?" - Anthea. Such powerful words.
Thanks for watching Toon Link! Hope you enjoyed!😀
That was deep boi 💯
Senior quote now
Toon Link powerful
That should've been my senior quote. Wish I would've seen this earlier in life ❤❤❤
So people keep asking still happily married 8 years now been together nearly 14. Yes shes the boss. This video is slightly out of date now as I have a different job (3rd in command in it) and Anthea has new wheelchair with custom paint work and new eye gaze communication device.
you are one the sweetest man in the world, your wife is lucky to have you as you are lucky to have her
That's amazing.!! So happy to hear that..! You are a great man/husband. If only we had more people with that kind of love and compassion, this world would be a much better place. Wishing you both lots of happiness!
Congratulations on 8 years ❤️
Michael,
I absolutely loved watching this! Y’alls relationship is one of a kind simply because the love is real and pure. I am genuinely happy for the two of you and wish you both many more years of happiness! Please tell your lovely wife hello for me! She is a true inspiration!
Very beautiful that you both chose each other and not the world around you
I have a 10 year old son who has cerebral palsy. I get sad on certain days knowing I’m the only one he has since I am a single mother but watching this made me so happy knowing there are such amazing people out there. Wishing, hoping and praying the best for every one and to find love!! Amazing story!! ❤️♥️♥️❤️♥️
I have a son wiyh duchenne muscular dystrophy he is basically paralyzed from the neck down. Barely has the ability to use his hands. And I thought I always it was so depressing he actually had issues when he was a teenager with depression. He's almost given up on life until one day girl named Brandy walked in his classroom. She was is a beautiful girl with Selective mutism and it has some autism. My son smiled at her and they started flirting and glass and eventually she came home to meet us. That was it to put together ever since. I never thought in my lifetime I would ever see Jeffrey marriage with children or any of that. They may never have kids and they may never get married officially but at least they have each other she's lived with us for the last several years because I'm his full-time caregiver. So I want to tell you that there's hope there's always hope you may not feel that your son would ever find someone but you never know. I suggest giving in the involved in outside activities if you haven't already
teresa grant wow Theresa that was an amazing heartfelt story and am so appreciative that you shared it with me. Your right there is hope and we need to stay strong and just be hopeful. God bless you and thank you. Good luck.
Do you watch 'Skirmy and Grubs' here on YT?
Samar Tanvir that’s fantastic to see you feel more positive for this story brilliant
At least he has you. That’s more than some people have. In that way, he is lucky.
This is relatable on so many levels. I am also a 20 year old woman with cebral palsy. But I am a lot more moble than Anthea. But I also went though endless therapy sessions and a lot of surgeries. I feel like me and Anthea are proof that people with disabilities can have fulfilled lives. I went to highschool with all the other kids, I finished high school and am now living on my own with a care giver who comes once a week to help with household chores. And I am a university student. I also have an able-bodied partner. A lot of people in my live probably thought I would never get this far. But I did and I am very proud of myself. I will never take for granted what I have today and what I will achieve in the decates to come. I am just so thankful
Excuse me I have a question if you don't mind me asking
Now that is a MAN and a HUSBAND. Cheers to you, man
Thanks for your support and watching our video, Jenni!
SOOO rare
He's an angel
I always love watching love stories especially if they are soulmates, Wich one can surely see that
Here. Many, many blessings to you both.
Life is one's destiny,
Not a destination.
❤️✌️💡 To you both.
🙋🙏🤗😁
hes a bit prickish tho, always saying well, no wonder why you " thats not okay. that would get demeaning after a while, a short while. its not like she is normally accident prone like a able bodied person.
Anthea is such a lovely woman and Michael has an amazing attitude and his good humour and the way he teases her is so cute, he treats her like she doesn't have a disability and that's what makes a huge difference. He treats her as an equal and you can tell that he genuinely loves her because he does it all out of love knowing the full responsibility before he got involved with her. Wishing you both a very happy marriage forever and beyond. Xxxxxxx
Thanks for watching ! Hope you enjoyed!
idylle♡doll I had the same thoughts!
What do you mean, he treats her like an equal?? Of course, she's his equal; she's a human being!
Hes handsome too.
The disability isn't her...she is an equal,
It was so hilarious when she started chasing him lmaooo "Ah it's a hill what a shame" lol. Man they seem like so much fun to be around. I wish them the best
She deserves love ❤️ not because she’s disabled but because she’s a human. Just like he deserves love. I’m glad they found each other
I admire her cuz I think so low of my self and with the barriers she confront she love her self... god bless her
ty you are so nice...
Gugología 101 con Rosana me too actually. I always tend to think very low of myself and think of most others as better than me. But I know that's not a healthy emotional wellbeing. So I have improved a lot over the last several years. Although, I still struggle with low self esteem. I have no disabilities of any kind but I still lack confidence consistently. And when I view these kinds of videos or meet these special people it gives me a different perspective and that I should be grateful for what or who I am. You're a beautiful person Anthea.
guess we all beautiful one way or another.Happy thanksgivings hugsss just me😉
Thanks for watching German Baez!
German Baez why do you think low of yourself
God I'm so grateful for everything I have and everything I am
Thank you for watching MissBored!
🙏❤️
Amen thank u God 😞❤️
Miss Bored : You can't be grateful without seeing this?
Me too ❤🌹🙏
For me, HE is a Perfect human and simple DEVOTED MAN and a Husband. High 10 to this amazing MAN!
I have the utmost respect for people like Michael and other men who look past the disabilities and the wheelchair and see people for who they truly are.
Micheal you're an AMAZING man. Athena you're a special lady yourself. My heart is glowing from this story. 💖💖💖
Thanks for your comment!
Kraz3y K3ll3y's Korn3r I love this Visio , I think Anthea and Michael make make a lovely couple and I envy Anthea
I have watched this video before , but Didn't realise Anthea had Kidney cancer when she was little as well as CP
Michael seems a lovely caring and understanding man and obviously VERY DEDICATED with what he does
@@AttitudeLive can will come
Being disabled myself I can relate because I have an amazing wife who means the world to me. Even when we don't speak to each other we know each other's thoughts. Congratulations you two
Thanks for sharing Matt. Hope you enjoyed!
Now I can't get a relationship that would even treat me a good as he treats her. Such amazing love.
This comment section is so depressing. Why do people find it so hard to believe someone can genuinely love someone with a disability without something bad behind it or alternatively think they must be some kind of saint if they do?
I’m severely disabled but I have always taken care of my partner and given just as much to her as she gives to me, just in less obvious ways. Even when I can do nothing but lay in bed, she has needs I can meet like listening to her or comforting her or even asking my careers to do things that I would do if physically able and although it’s not actually my body doing the things she knows it’s from me, like when I choose for my careers to cook her favourite meals.
In the early years of our relationship she did a lot physically for me and people thought she was some kind of saint, but in the last couple of years she has become very disabled too so we lay next to each other every day and both have to be more creative about ways we care for each other. Who is the saint now? Neither of us! We are both just flawed human beings who both have needs AND things to offer.
People who are not disabled can even sometimes be the more needy one in a relationship, trust me. I have been in relationships in the past where I gave far more than I received even though I was the disabled one, because the other person was not emotionally healthy or very easy to be in a relationship with! Please don’t assume a persons body and physical abilities are always the biggest factor in what they have to offer or who they can be to others in their lives. It’s such an over simplistic way of looking at things.
Thanks for watching Gabe Angel

You said this so beautifuly, thank you. I am in the same position. I have been severely disabled and when my husband and I met I could not walk and he had to take care of me like an infant. Iw in so much pain constantly. However I take care of him just as painstakingly if not more because I had to literally explain to him everything to do because he had no idea how to run a household. We have grown a lot since and have both healed but people would look at us from the outside and think I was doing nothing and he everything when in actual fact sometimes I was doing more. Thank you for the way you explained it I'm so glad to know I'm not alone.
Oh and his family hated me and thought i was using him! I was thinking "gosh if only they knew how much work he is! Lol" but i LOVE him with ALL of my heart!♥☉ He is my sunshine.
Thank you for your comment. I am also disabled and my boyfriend gets ripped apart bc society norm is physical not mental & spiritual. It tells a lot of someone's true character. We are the fortunate ones, when we do find it, it's genuine.
@@michellekay223
Peach it girl! Yeah!😄
Whenever i feel "unlucky" because of my disability i remember how stupendously lucky i AM to experience such genuine true love with my husband ♥
and i cant even get a text back, no seriously this is beautiful im so happy for them
Thanks for the kind message Diana, we hope you enjoyed the episode!
Diana Z well dame look no further ill text you everyday every night beautiful 😘
Lol
Girrrrl story of my life
I feel you sis
Rule one on the 'instructions' board:
DO NOT TOUCH MY PHONE!
:') hahahaha
Mark Sneddon hahaha that made me LOL, she's og!!
Honestly that’d be mine too, lmao. But I love that her personality comes through even on an instruction board for caretakers.
Apparently she has paid caregivers messing with her personal cell phone while she can't do anything to stop them, which is obviously unacceptable.
Daleen Jones ... what’s the question?
wow its like we watched the exact same video???
You can tell this man loves her he's such a good man 💕❤️💕
She looked so beautiful in her wedding! 😫😫😫🥰🥰🥰
Is it me or does he always look like he is about to burst out laughing? Guess he is just a happy guy
Phoebe Mclellan OMG! ROFLMAO!! Nailed it girl!🤣🤣🤣😆
He's in love
@Gengar Phantom
With all due respect I don't think you can know how it is for him. How he feels. And also it is not time-consuming for him because she has caregivers and he does other things. She mentioned in the video that she wants him to do other things, that it would not be healthy for him to be a full-time caregiver and I agree. I am a person with a disability and my husband is my caregiver and I completely understand where they are coming from. We are happy just like this couple. We are truly in love.
I took it as nerves from being in front of a camera that'll air to an entire country, if not the world. Not necessarily an emotion of concern, but I'd totally be feeling the pressure with that many people "behind" the camera. Lol. Especially if you're already shy.
@@pattym9182 true and he looks like a really sweet and possibly shy person to begin with. I think he's lovely♥
This is sweet. (: there is love for anyone no matter what.
Brianna Sanchez
So untrue.
Celisar1 really? Because this girl who has been like this since she was a child found it. This man who doesn't have any disabilities looked past hers and loves her regardless. That says a lot.
Brianna Sanchez depends, if you don't have a face it becomes difficult for people to like you at First glance at least, or severely disfigured or disabled
nicolochan leo
+Brianna Sanchez I think it's possible for anyone, but not inevitable. There are no guarantees in life. And some people won't ever have a relationship (and that's maybe a bit more likely with some disabilities). But others will, you never know.
Great wife great husband.... Proud of both of you... Love you guys...
Today I turn 32..watching this made me appreciate life even more and respect others.
7:57 holy crap she looked so cute in that picture with the two boys.
Thank you for watching Taylor!
they help me to think differently about myself. I love their story.
Thanks for watching Ju!
Man i just sobbed the entire time, i just left this video aiming to be better and not see people with disabilities as inspirational or looking at them to feel better about myself but see them as human beings capable of love and a full life. We all need to do better and treats others how we want to be treated. Anthea just has a glowing energy that is stunning.
There are no words to describe how wonderful these two people are. I'm sure I will be thinking about them for a long time to come. They are the kind of people that you can never forget.
I wish them a happy, healthy life together ❤ ❤
She is a lovely and he a great husband to her ,
Wait!! Did she win?! I hope she did! They're awesome together! What an amazing husband the universe has sent her.
I would love to be able to have a man like Michael , he has a LOT on his hands with Anthea to look. after , but he seems to take it all in his stride , GOD BLESS you BOTH
Michael is amazing you can see how much love he has for his beloved wife,
every time he looks at her he has love in his eyes.😍🕊
This is heaven sent...GOD BLESS THEM
wow michael is the epitome of selfless. IF there was a heaven he'd have a first-class ticket there.
Mariah Zalera That big if 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching Mariah! Hope you enjoyed the episode!
Dallas Wise lol
Mariah Zalera I don't think that's fair to Anthea. To imply he's some kind of selfless angel just because he chose to date and marry a person with a disability is incredibly offensive and hurtful to disabled people. You're basically saying being with a disabled person is some kind of trial that no normal selfish person would choose. How do you think that makes people with disabilities feel? That someone has to be some kind of special selfless person to ever consider having a life with us? It's demeaning to imply that.
What about Anthea brings to the relationship? And what she gives him? It's not a one sided relationship. They're equal partners in their eyes. He's a wonderful person for sure, but so is Anthea.
Everyone has hardships and challenges in life. Some more than others. But as someone with a disability, we need to acknowledge that those who support and love us aren "putting up with us" or the "epitome of selfless".
People with disabilities are as deserving and lovable as everyone else.
Jessica Gomes
Have you any idea, how incredibly stressful, demanding and consuming (time, energy) it is to take care of such a heavily disabled person? To choose doing that for the rest of your life is indeed something very, very, very rare and needs a very special person to do so,
for all unbelievers and people saying hateful things...this woman has a perfectly
functional mind and did you stop to consider that there relationship is built on more than something physical? There is a good possibility that there will come a time in your own life that intimacy is not what is first achieved or expected. I feel sorry for anyone that holds your own relationship to an ideal that can never be achieved. Maybe it is easy to say he will leave or you feel pity on their relationship for whatever reason...because you or your spouse would be the first to turn tail when something bad happens. It's called life and commitment...you know for better or for worse? Your comments and thoughts on the subject are more of a reflection on your self and own relationships than you know.
Thanks for your support and for watching Radiation Therapist!
The Radiation Therapist there are creative ways to be intimate. I'm sure they're a passionate couple. Both have endless amounts of energy
The Radiation Therapist he has a fetish for handicapped people!!!
Why is it gross? Disabled people have sex, get over it!! My crippled ass has sex, too. Bet you are prude
Tonya go soak your head. Your comment is appalling. As someone who knows many disabled persons who are married, they are quality people who met other quality people. Based upon your idiotic comment, I'd say you are not among them.
I can’t even imagine that this will happen. Michael is really selfless and he really loves his wife. But I was moved watching Anthea says this, "This is the only body I've got. If I don't love it, who will?" That was a very powerful words that I've ever heard.
This is actually the most beautiful relationship I have ever seen. I couldn't stop crying at how amazing their connection is. I could only hope to find the same.
BEAUTIFUL COUPLE! SO HAPPY FOR THEM!
Two very wonderful people--they will always be winners!
Absolutely adorable, you can really see the love in their eyes when they look at eachother
Relationship goals. You can see the love between them when they look at each other. He has eyes for no other woman and she only sees him. It is so sweet and pure.
Awe! This made me cry!!! These are stories we need to see more of! 😭😭😭
Thanks for your comment Nicole! We hope you enjoyed and watch more!
@@AttitudeLive This is to ALL the RUDE People out their NEGATIVE COMMENTS ,IF YOU CANT say anything Good about a DISABLED person in a relationship with an able bodied person , then DONT say anything at all , keep your thoughts and opinions to yourselves Posting from LONDON ENGLAND
What a beautiful love story. Makes our everyday trivial "obstacles" seem much less important. Here's a beautiful woman and all she wants in the world is to be able to speak & move her body correctly. Makes me feel ashamed for even complaining about everyday things. God has certainly blessed both of you by having you in each others' lives.
Thanks for your kind words Lauren! Hope you enjoyed the episode!

The ableism in the comment section here is truly disgusting, and really shows off the worst that humanity has to offer. It's so bad that even disabled people like Anthea think of dating another disabled person as "settling", as if being any different than the norm somehow makes you less than. I really hope she doesn't think that about herself. That made me so sad. And then the fact that everyone assumes her husband has a disability fetish. Anthea is beautiful, although people do not have to be conventionally attractive to deserve and to be able to find love. These two are able to communicate with each other, and that's how their relationship grew. If someone "looks" typical, and appears able-bodied, but is mentally ill, are they somehow also not deserving of love? Do people with chronic and terminal illnesses also not deserve love? If your seemingly "healthy" friend or loved one became sick or disabled, would your feelings for them suddenly change? Where do people draw the line? Anthea loves herself, her husband loves her, and anyone who finds something wrong with that is truly perverse. ALL relationships require work and sacrifice. Stop projecting your own personal failings onto disabled people, or anyone who's different than you.
I wouldnt judge or blame Anthea for prefering "normal" guys, it is just the practical side of life where two severely disabled people would need to be taken care of 24/7, but in this situation they are independent as a couple. And he is an amazing young man. And the fantastic technology that allows her to speak also shows her sweet personality. Best of luck for both of them and good health for us all!
ĶTV that’s what I was thinking makes total sense to try to find someone that can enrich and support her life in a practical sense first. It’s no different to what the rest of us do - when I left uni I was after a graduate or hard working person myself because I wanted a particular partner for a certain life style! Everyone strives first for their ideal whatever that maybe - whether they admit that from behind their keyboards is another matter lol
You are so sweet!
@Malini yes, 100% yes
Malini, I wish everyone in the world had the open mind and rationality that you do. I wish that so much, because you're absolutely right.
Stef Doyle
I was lucky that a friend recommended I try working as a caregiver. To my surprise I ended up managing two group homes and it was a very inspiring and humbling because I quickly realized that it was we the majority with our narrow ideas of what love and normal is that truly hinders people with special needs. Give people the supports they need and get out of the way. Also, LOVE her dry erase board. You tell ‘em honey !! Your life your rules 😉
This is so beautiful, I'm so happy for them! I pray that they have a long , joyful marriage. 💜
Thank you for watching!

What a absolutely beautiful love story ❤ really bought tears to my eyes, with happiness! Life is so cruel such a wonderful lady who doesn’t deserve this disability.. I’m so glad she is happy.
Her comments about body image are so insightful! I would love to have half the confidence she has❤
She truly is amazing isn't she! Thanks again for watching Clai, good to see you are enjoying the episodes!
absolutely beautiful both of them
Having watched over 90,000 videos and researched Mental Health and Disabilities and Science and Technology since I was 14. This video shows that there is always someone for you no matter what, I use AAC all the time to communicate to the group. I had my first client at 17 I helped her when her Mother died. The guy in this video needs a huge high five and a smile for doing great . One in a million mate ;-)
Wow. So beautiful. He is so kind and selfless. So happy for them. True love.
they are an amazing and adorable couple.
Thanks for watching Mayra! Hope you enjoyed!
Wow. Now that's a story I'd like to hear more often.
Thanks for watching Elle!
beautiful story. I'm glad she got her dream wedding. they both are so lucky to have each other.
this is the purest most beautiful love i've ever seen!!! Anthea is a beauty and too wise for this world and Michael is damn cutie! really melts my heart. only had smiles as i watched this
What a fantastic beautiful couple they are! Just because someone has a disability doesn't mean they can't love and just because she can't speak doesn't mean they can't communicate, I too am disabled I have curvature of the lower spine (scoliosis) and my lower lumbar from my L1 to my S1 all my discs are bulged and herniated so as u can imagine I am in constant pain and discomfort and have to take morphine liquid 4 times a day so some days I sleep a lot too and can't be woken up sometimes, I had an accident when I was 14-15 yrs old but it didn't effect me till I turned 28 and then my life gradually went down hill, I went for a scan and was told that I had my condition it broke my heart because I had 3 kids at the time and my partner is 4 yrs younger than me, but he's fantastic they told me I'd never be able to work again and that one day soon I'd be wheelchair bound, but he still loves me and takes care of me and our kids, we've also fostered a family members son too and he's a great dad to him too, I'm so glad I had my kids when I did and I'm so glad that I have my husband too, even though he knew my condition is degenerative and I'm going to need more and more care as time goes on he still went and married me! And when I tell him I'm lucky to have him he says no we're lucky to have each other!! Sending all my love and best wishes for the future to this amazing and cute couple, I loved watching this it made my heart melt xxxx ❤️💚💛❤️️💜💙🍀🍀
Thanks for watching ! Hope you enjoyed!
Anthea is a great inspiration!💗
Rebeca With One C I agree!!! 💓
Why? What does she do?
You two are adorable! I have so much admiration and respect for the both of you. Michael, you’re an amazing man; you’re patience, tolerance, unconditional love, gentleness, and good attitude are things everybody should strive for daily. Anthea, I don’t know how you’ve kept such a chipper demeanor throughout all your struggles. You are such a strong and courageous woman! May you both have a long and fulfilling marriage.
She has beautiful eyes, the way her face lights up when she's talking to him or about him is so pure.
Anetha is a truly remarkable lady who is a great inspiration to people who with her beautiful smile and her effervescence personality she would be a delight to everyone she meets . I am so happy that she has met the love of her life in Micheal and wish her all the best of luck in her pursuit in boccia .
Thanks for watching Kylie! Hope you enjoyed!
Just loved this story of two people who are so much in love truly inspirational ,Michael you are such an amazing young man to care for beautiful Anthea the way you do ,it takes a very special person to be able to do this ,Anthea i admire your courage and determination in every way and good luck with Boccia i had never heard of this game until watching your video ,Thank you so much for sharing ,wish you both a wonderful Xmas xx
Elaine Tungatoa you're so right. This guy has earned the right to be considered a hero and unique.
Elaine Tungatoa
so nice
Rosco Pico pretty sure if you ended up severely disabled in a wheelchair and had someone look after you like he does to his wife he would be your "hero" too, give up and stop being so nasty
Rosco , Michael is a hero and you are a zero.....you suck
Oh my goodness! The way Anthea and Michael look into each other's eyes makes me so happy! They clearly love and care for each other so much. I wish them a life time of joy!
O can't even imagine the courage Anthea demonstrates day after day while remaining joyful.
oh my god ....the smile and the look on his face is priceless.....
The way she talks about "might as well go for a disabled guy" rubbed me the wrong way. She is disabled but it comes across like she thinks someone who is also disabled is not good enough for her. If she, disabled herself, would not want a disabled man why should an able bodied man want her?
You have a point there
Mc Hobbit speaking as a person with a disability we're often told we have to settle and only have a chance at relationships with "our own kind". I took it more that she wasn't going to settle for any man just because he was disabled as well.
Let's say she wasn't disabled but poor and said she did not want to "settle" for a poor man. Or if she was aboriginal and did not want to "settle" for a man of her race. I don't think you should settle for anyone, you should just wait who you naturally fall in love with and might not be who you pictured to begin with. I never wanted a "fat" man and now my husband IS rather heavy but I couldn't have anyone better.
Yeah...that's kind of wrong of her to say
I really don't think she meant for it to be interpreted that way. I believe she thought no able bodied person would love her and everyone would just class her to be with a disabled person, if anyone at all. This is a beautiful story.
She is such a beautiful person inside and out! So many of us could learn from her!
What an amazing and dedicated young man! He's one in a million, that's for sure! Blessings to BOTH of them!
What an amazing man, and what an amazing woman!! I'm so incredibly happy for both of you!
Hope you enjoyed the episode ! Thanks for watching!
I fell in love with this couple an the last an the many others marriage can be hard as it is. to truly love someone so much is a blessing
Thanks for you comment Sara, hope you enjoyed the episode!
Sooo glad they recorded all that they did over the years..great to watch
Patience.... man has tons of it... not many ppl do!!!!
I got a lot of smiles from this video, also a lot of understanding about people with disabilities as Anthea. Nice smile you have, Anthea. Awesome man, Michael and amazing woman, Anthea. Unspoken communication you can't get any better than that. I remember when I was a child and we did something our parents didn't like, my mother gave us a look, that was unspoken, we knew exactly what she was saying . I think you are soulmates, unspoken communication proves it, in my opinion. Your power walks back, when Michael plays too much, was hilarious, had me laughing out loud. I just want to let you know....you are a great couple. Thanks for sharing
Seeing this video made me not hate men anymore. I was wrong when I thought all men were bad. This guy is a real sweetheart
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Princess P I hope one day your match just like them. :)
Veronica R i have a type of progressive mucular dystrophy called Charco Marie Tooth disease. I felt the same after an abusive relationship. Im still able to walk but its painful at the end of the day. My boyfriend now is very supportive and helps me on my bad days. My spasms get more often as i go along but hes always there. They arent all bad, just takes giving the odd one out sometimes a chance.
Yeah hopefully he doesn't cheat on her..
I was born with no ear on my right side i had a lot of surgery's.. when people see me in person they can't tell i have a defect i look normal as anybody else, i always thought i was never going to get merried or have children...i was wrong i did got married on august 2,2013 we been together for 7 year and we have 3 children 👨👦👩👧👧one is 6 and 4 and 3 years old.Thank God Everything is POSSIBLE!!!!😃⚘he loves me how i am he saw my inside and out.
I've always found the Kiwis to be some of the nicest and humble people on the face of this planet. This couple represents that.
Simply AMAZINING!!! Okay Anthea. You're going to have to share with us, HOW you got such a good man like Michael. We who have NO disabilities can't even find half as good as man as Michael.
The part where she was chasing him around the park killed me🤣 I’m so happy she has a head powered wheel chair that gives her independence❤️
You two are too cute! Best of luck in your endeavors!
The way her eyes light up when she sees or talks about him😍😍😍
Everyone is deserving of love and acceptance for who they really are. I'm glad Anthea and Michael found each other. Best of luck to them!
What an incredible power couple!!! You can see and feel the love they have for each other!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕

Despite having a milder form of cerebral palsy (I have spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy), I can understand what this woman is going through and how difficult things are for her. The more severe forms of cerebral palsy can make it difficult for a person do things on their own, but that doesn't mean that their cognitive abilities are affected. She's clearly a very intelligent woman who's able to make her own decisions even though it feels like her mind is trapped inside a body that wouldn't cooperate with her.
It's a shame that people who have the most severe cerebral palsy forms are treated like they aren't cognitively capable. Yes it is true that in some cases cognitive skills are affected by the brain injury or related circumstance that caused the form of cerebral palsy to develop, but not always.
Besides I would love to meet Anthea and get to know her. For me it's actually pretty difficult to find other people who have cerebral palsy here in Phoenix Arizona.
This man is the embodiment of a person with a Golden Heart..
I always love interable relationships when they both just light up around each other she was just as happy seeing him as when she was walking omg beautiful
just by looking at his smile I could feel the great love he feels for his wife, and I could feel her happiness for having a man who loves her as she is and cares for her. a great love, that many people of healthy body will never understand or experience. BYE.
Sometimes I get a little depressed when I think about what loves actually is. It's chemicals. Fleeting, replaceable chemicals. But the bit about how her parents took her to appointments almost every day got to me. The cost alone must have been enormous. But what really got to me was the emotional toll it had to take. There's no cure for her condition. And they had to release at some level that there wouldn't be much improvement. First cancer on in an infant, three times dealing with the shock of her death, and then seemingly pointless therapy? That's a lot. But...a great testimony of a parents' love for their baby.
Faith in humanity, restored.
Thank you for watching and sharing your opinion Sadie!
What a sad outlook on life. Glad I'm a Christian and know the difference between instinct and real love. You are talking about what I would call instinct, which does not get people very far. Lust goes in that category. What her parents did, what her husband does, is love and goes against many of our worldly instincts because it requires great self sacrifice with the only benefit being receiving love in return. I hope you feel real love one day and realize there is more to life than... 'chemicals'... and that everyone and everything is 'replaceable'. The evidence there is more to love than something 'fleeting' is right before your eyes, yet you still reject it? To me that is sad. Life is fleeting and painful for all of us, but as a Christian I know there is more than just this life. Now that is Hope.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." ~ Romans 12:9-10
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." ~ 1 John 4:7
"This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." ~ 1 John 3:16-18
replaceable chemicals huh? love is pure love is from God the Creator
Love is a choice.
I love this! They fell in love with each other’s brains. That is true love!
You two are a beautiful couple. Very beautiful!!!
