The disability is not even the biggest challenge but the ignorance out there they have to deal with🤦🏻‍♀️

[@coopi1481]

This! And people still don't understand, or are not willing to understand that!

[@petals2517]

Absolutely right!! It's people's ignorance 😞

[@manda.watching.YouTube]

That’s why videos like this are important.

[@sandykelsey6734]

Amen to that.

[@ela8223]

The couple who suffers from cerebral palsy made me emotional, I love going to the gym and it’s actual my safe place so watching them working out with so much strength and seriousness is beautiful. Also, Tina and Carl are really the definition of family, helping other people and making a new kind of gym absolutely amazing!

[@hollybean790]

The trainers are wonderful.

[@michellehampson79]

My 20 year old nephew has neurofibromarosis but the internal type. So all you see on the outside is like birthmark looking patches. His life expectancy is 21 but so far he's doing good. His speech is effected. He talks like someone who is virtually deaf but he's a beautiful man now and hopefully he will live a long life

[@christinasanders5625]

[@sandykelsey6734]

God bless him. ya never know how many people your nephew touches.

[@christinethemommy6094]

The neurofibromataosis couple are adorable. They were legit made for each other. They seem so sweet and kind that after listening to them speak it’s almost like the bumps disappeared. I think that’s the magic of getting to know someone and hearing their story.

[@carole-vv5es]

adorable is the last thing they want that patronizing i had a rabbit that was adorable these are people not rabbits yep sure they feel adorable when spitting out the blood now would you like to hold blood container when spitting it out....these are people they must take there place in society as do we all they are not special they do not need patronizing or cruelty thats all

[@CrustyUgg]

@@carole-vv5estheir personalities are so sweet.. I'm sure that's what they meant. If they didn't have bumps and she called them adorable you wouldn't say anything.. how do you know what they want to be called? Did you ask?

[@christinethemommy6094]

@@carole-vv5es Couples are often referred to as “such a cute couple”. Ur only looking as their disability and tip toeing around language. I am disabled and people do this around me often. It’s annoying. Just because we are disabled doesn’t mean we can’t be “adorable couples” or “cute”.

Imagine feeling all alone and you find someone who you feel understands you, someone you feel comfortable with. Someone who TRULY sees you, sees your beauty understanding we all have flaws, no one is perfect but they are perfect to you. Everyone deserves love everyone deserves to feel loved. I personally feel love makes the world go round. It’s one of the most beautiful,powerful and precious feelings! I wish all these couples all the happiness ❤if they put even 50%of the strength they possess into their relationships, they will be bountiful and successful ❤

My son was born with severe brain damage and we found out he had c.p at 8 mo. Old. He had the brain compesity of birth to 3 months.old we were so lucky to have him for 16 years.we did get rude comments from some people but most all encounters was very lovely and.our son loved the attention.he was beautiful on this earth but more beautiful as an angel

[@amysnews6808]

My son almost died of SIDS at 4 months and suffered an anoxic brain injury. They told us he wouldn't survive and if he did he would be on a ventilator and feeding tube the rest of his life and probably in a vegetative state. He was in a coma for a month but he made it. Came out of the coma, off the vent and the feeding tube. He does have CP, MRDD, epilepsy and CVI but he'll be 15 this year and overall healthy as a horse. He is a lot smarter than people give him credit for, he just can't get it out like other people. He is so happy and laid back, laughs all the time at just the right moments, love to tease people, just a beautiful soul. We're just blessed to have him, he's taught me more about life and living than anyone else ever could. His siblings adore him and they're extra caring and understanding because of him. He's just a blessing to this world, just like your kiddo. 😊

[@karyannfontaine8757]

I worked with a lovely lady who also had Neurofibromatosis. Her condition never defined her, her friendship, personality, loyalty and competence did.

[@--_-_-_-74..]

I waited on a lady that had it . At that time I had no clue what she had , she was so sweet ❤

[@ew7512]

Yep. My best friend of 25 years has NF1. I stopped even thinking about it decades ago. It has little to do with who he is as a person.

[@Abcd-ht8df]

That Tim is such an angel what a loving guy. He's such a romantic

[@SarahEA1]

I also work with a lady that had the same condition, she was an awesome friend.

[@karenkennedy8074]

My niece has it. I know it's painful for her. She's the sweetest person you'll ever know.

[@hollzie7348]

Dejua and Antwon are the most adorable couple I've ever seen! I bet they are a lot of fun to hang out with, just like with all the people featured in this document

[@chrissmith-no3bo]

3:52 they seem so happy together. I love a happy love story

[@dollfactory]

I came here to say the same

[@DonnaR5]

Yeah, they do. Their awesome

[@isabelpark7650]

If they can accept their conditions, then so should everyone else.

[@chilltarts]

It’s not just accepting them, it’s celebrating them! One thing I noticed about every single couple was how beautiful and pure their souls were. I have a capable body, but I carry a lot of damage around in my soul. And how petty is that? Because no matter what these couples faced, they found a way to carry the good with them and let go of the rest. The ability to do that is something that is so admirable it makes me slightly envious- but diamonds are made through pressure, so I suppose it makes more sense than we even know

[@janstaz]

Some things are just so unfair,

[@christinasanders5625]

I hate hearing how much pain some of these conditions cause these individuals.

[@livelovelearn1986]

This was such an incredibly inspiring, informative, vulnerable and heartwarming selection of stories!!! The bodybuilders had me crying with pure joy

[@kmarie7051]

It's mind boggling to me that anyone would say cruel things to these couples. Clearly they a brave courageous people living with challenges that they were born with. There's people out there who complain about stupid little things and yet I've heard not one complaint from any of these people or feeling sorry for themselves. They just get on with life as best they can with the cards that's been dealt them.

[@shoshannafachima1306]

All these couples and families are simply fabulous

[@karenchastain9789]

They are truly beautiful and even more special in the sense that they except their unique problems and live life to the fullest in spite of what they deal with I admire them

[@asthecrowflies737]

Wade and DJ are beyond AWESOME!!

[@connie1wilson]

I had a customer when I was 20 who had NF, back in the 90s, I treated her like she was just another person, and took the money from her hand, and smiled at her genuinely. I thought that maybe some people did not treat her fairly. Also, with some diseases, you may end up with conditions that make you go from “average” to maligned! People need to treat others better - I knew that at 20! That nurse???

[@michellehampson79]

All of these couples are beautiful people. Haters should take a good look inside thier selves cos they will soon find out that they're not so perfect x

[@roseybud2821]

Those caregivers are a God send. They must have the patience of a saint. 😊

[@cassandrastone7297]

Whatever nurse that was talking to that lovely lady about God isn’t a Christian. No God fearing person would think such a horrible thing! I had a near death experience before and everyone that was deceased was just a soul that looked like a ball of energy. And the love I felt was absolutely indescribable!

[@joanne1697]

These couples are all so beautiful inside everyone is different and we all should be loved and love everyone as long as your a good person wish all of the couples the best that life can offer

[@valerief1231]

I’m grateful to everyone that shared their stories, people will always fascinate me, and I love learning about individuals and their experiences, we are all so different, truly we are, there is no such thing as average, or “normal” just souls moving thru life with unique abilities and triumphs, losses, and challenges. Everyone in this documentary did convey to me that I have to reach within myself, I’ve really been stuck for too long, and I can’t keep staying in this places of suspended animation.

[@nancywangari7623]

I believe that true love still exists ❤❤

[@chilltarts]

All of these couples are just so dang motivational ❤ Especially Antwan and his wife (I’m sorry I forgot your name, pretty girl). Their zest for life is just super infectious! Walk with Christ all the days of your life, because God has something in store for the two of you. I can feel it.

[@FTLOF442]

I have followed Antwon and Dej on Tiktok for a while. They are the funniest and most beautiful people ❤ The way they tackle life wholeheartedly is truly something to truly admire. Antwon is completely crazy (in the nicest of ways) and will do nothing but make you smile. They show us that life is for living. I have never met them, but couldn't be prouder of them both ❤ They sincerely melt my heart xx

[@chrissmith-no3bo]

Honestly I believe ppl look because they intrigued. When we see someone with a disease or disability we wonder what happened or what is going on. And shows like this you all are bringing awareness to something that is not talked about or known.. never feel like it's in disgust or anything mean. I'm overweight and I'm in a mobility chair for last 10 yrs. Because one I have neuropathy and second I have degenerative arthritis in my knees and back. Not because I'm over weight. I'm over weight because I can't move around like I used to

[@WILL_ON_WHEELS]

Amazing to see amazing couples I wish truly expands their channel to world wide in finding such talents because even I am one such differently abled living in USA but from India

All of these lovely people in this video are a true inspiration. I know first hand about the stares and comments from people who are ignorant and fear what they don’t know or understand. My self, I do not a have a disability, but my daughter does. She has cerebral palsy. She suffered brain damage at six and a half months old. She has a beautiful and loving nature and loves to make people laugh. She also loves to be around people. Watching this video made me smile a lot at the pride and determination you all have to live life to the fullest no matter what. If the rest of the world showed as much as you all do, this would be a better world hands down. Hugs to all of you. 🤗❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for this documentary. 👍 So inspiring. I'm so happy for those who can lead a near to normal life, with a loving partner at their side. I also have two hereditary syndroms, protein mutations.. But, unless one knows me well, they are invisible aliments. That too, isn't very practical nor easy to explain. Because, I suffer a lot daily. And I feel very isolated. Even the doctors don't really understand nor support me well... In the US or GB that's different. I wish to find the best loving partner for me, soon! 🙏🌟 Good luck to all who suffer. Blessings.
