I'm the partner of a wonderful woman with Spina Bifida. Before meeting her I had almost no exposure to those who live with disabilities, but with good humour, compassion, and a healthy dose of bloody-mindedness we've built a good life together.
We've overcome obstacles together and pushed out the boundries of what each of us thought possible for ourselves. I've been coming here to read others stories as they often have parallels with our lives together, and often show perspectives neither of us had seen.
Thank you to all who contribute, what you write is appreciated and enlightening.
