My name is Taey and I am the proud girlfriend of a C6 Quadraplegic male. I came to the site simply to gain more insight into my boyfriends condition even though he has always been very honest and upfront with me, I still had questions. In answering those questions I stumbled across many discussions where people too often emphasized the negative in their SCI partner, seemingly losing light of their beauty. I wanted to start this topic as a place for people to shine light on the strengths in their partners whether they be the one with the SCI or the spouses of those ones.
I will start.....My boyfriend is my strength before I met him I was simply skating by from day to day, now I take the time to embrace each precious moment because I realize how special each one is. I know each morning when he wakes he will suffer from one pain or another but that does not stop him from calling my phone to see how I slept and how I feel and to make sure that I start each morning knowing that he is still in love with me. He puts my wants and needs before his own and there are many countless and indescribable moments that I have sat back and watched in awe as this man has made me fall in love with him over and over again.

If I had the power to I would clone him a million times over to simply share with so many other deserving women the treasure that I have found in him, he is my everything. I look into his eyes and I see my forever, He wraps his arms around me pulls me close and kisses my forhead and I promise you I melt every single time. I giggle like a little girl everytime theres a mention of his name, because just the thought of him sends chills through my spine

. There is a serene contentment that comes over me on a daily basis in knowing that this man would do anything in his power for me and just that feeling makes life worth living. All the pain, all the stress, all the tears from previous relationships and this is what I was waiting for, and it's worth it all. I am aware of his needs and the fact that his body is not as strong as his will and I accept that, but I think that is part of what love is, I look forward to spending the rest of my life with this man, bearing his children and building a home and family together. I thank God for the blessing that he is in my life and I embrace everything about him, his strength and his flaws because they make him who he is. He swept me off of my feet the moment he rolled into my life and I haven't touched the ground since.
What do you love about your mate, this is your opprotunity to count your blessings!
I am in Love with the most beautiful man in the world.....
