Nice article. ]]> https://wheellove.ca/a-positive-spin/#comment-2642 Fri, 28 Apr 2017 18:34:41 +0000 https://wheellove.ca/?p=674#comment-2642 Wow! You hit the nail on the head! Everything you have said is exactly how I feel towards my husband. When we met he had been in a chair about 10 yrs and VERY independent. I saw the chair for abour 2 minutes and never really saw it again as something in the way. I fell in the love with the man that he became due to that chair. I know you can relate. I never gave it any thought about physical challenges we might have together in the future, I just dove in. Not saying there aren’t days were his chair isn’t a big pain in the butt or my toes but then again he deals with my issues too. The past 12 yrs have had ups and downs but show me any relationship that hasn’t. I don’t deserve any special recognition because I married a man in a wheelchair just like he doesn’t get congratulations for marrying a crazy Puerto rican-american! Thank you for always articulating exactly how I feel and the struggles we share together.
Thank you

I loved this article. I have a quick question for you, if you don’t mind. I am in an electric chair but was wondering what kind of chair James is using in the sand and can he maneuver it himself through the sand? I would think that would be practically impossible! ]]> https://wheellove.ca/a-positive-spin/#comment-2636 Fri, 28 Apr 2017 02:22:47 +0000 https://wheellove.ca/?p=674#comment-2636 Thank you both so much for posting about your abilities and difficulties living life with a chair. The man I have feelings for has not been able bodied for a few years, but this is the only way I have known him. He is a very handsome, positive, inventive, charming, humorous and supremely intelligent gentleman. His goal is to use his limbs on command and to be independent again. If he can someday resume independence or if he can’t quite reach his goal makes no difference to me in defining our budding friendship, for I feel so heaven sent lucky to have him in my life. Bless you all, ladies and your gents. ]]>
