Lost both arms in a train accident years ago. Here I am dancing at my wedding with my wife, who has been my hands and my guardian angel through everything.
To give you a bit more context on why she is my absolute hero: just recently, on August 26th, I had surgery to remove a nodule from my right lung. She stayed by my side in the hospital every single day, taking care of me just like she always does. I am the luckiest man alive to have her.

Although not the usual nextfuckinglevel, I believe you are on a level many of us will never achieve.
You are a warrior and your wife a Saint. Keep going king.

It’s just what I felt in my heart and soul to do. It might be an unusual post for this group, but I really wanted to share it.

❤️ beautiful
Can I ask, does your wife write the Reddit replies for you or do you have some sort of accessibility equipment or text to speech to help with that?

No, I am writing this myself using my feet. I have been typing on my PC keyboard like this for over 14 years now, so I am very used to it.

The way her eyes hold onto you... she clearly feels like the lucky one... if ever there was a relationship goal for EVERYONE to aim for... this is it... enjoy every minute you have together!

Thank you so much for noticing that. Her gaze is my safe place and it has kept me going through everything. We truly cherish every single moment together. ❤️

u/MancDude1979 5h ago
I didn't only notice, it just shines through and grabs attention... that is the gaze of a woman who truly loves everything about you... I hope someone looks at me that way some day... you are both very lucky to have each other ❤️

Thank you so much. I truly hope and believe that you will find that kind of love and that special gaze one day. Everyone deserves to be looked at with that much love. Wishing you all the best! 🙏❤️

i really hope you lost them because you were slowing the train down spiderman style except you had no superhuman strength

No, it wasn't like that. It was just pure bad luck and a major, life-changing turning point for me.

It’s inspiring seeing you two together. Relationship can be hard work but so worth it with the right person.

u/Timely_Bunch_8607 5h ago
You are absolutely right. It takes team work and love, but when you have the right person by your side, every challenge becomes easier. Thank you! ❤️

Your wife seems awesome and I’m very happy you seem to realize that.
If I may, can I ask about how using the restroom works? Also how did you lose your arms in a train accident? What’s the most unexpected challenge of not having your arms?
There was a lady that didn’t have arms who posted a video awhile back and she had some amazing foot skills but she’s a lady so some of the challenges she faced wouldn’t necessarily be applicable for you so those questions were left unasked.

u/Timely_Bunch_8607 4h ago
Thank you! Yes, my wife is awesome. To answer your questions, when we are out in the city, my wife helps me in the restroom. At home, so I don't trouble her every time, I choose to only wear a t-shirt, without underwear or sweatpants, which makes things manageable for me by myself.
The biggest challenge of all wasn't physical, it was staying sane and keeping my mental health intact, fighting not to lose my mind after such a tragedy. As for the lady you mentioned, I don't know her, but I respect anyone fighting this battle.

Well said, and thank you for the insights. And if it makes you feel better, I have arms and will typically not where pants or a shirt either despite the neighbors complaints. ;)

u/Timely_Bunch_8607 3h ago
Haha, that definitely made me laugh! 😂 Good to know I’m not the only one keeping the neighbors on their toes. Thank you for the chat and for the support, man! Cheers!
