I wanted to write this post because I think it is important for a person to recognise the people around them.
When anyone becomes disabled in any way your life changes not just in the physical ways but in the emotional ways aswel, your thought process becomes different, your tolerance levels change drastically, and you gain different understanding to different things. 
For those born disabled they don’t really understand as they have never known anything different and more often than not if you ask them they will agree.
When I become disabled I had nowhere to turn, doctors couldn’t help because they where baffled, support agencies wouldn’t help because I was not on benefits and the people around me was struggling with the concept that one day I was fine and the next day I needed all this extra assistance.
But out the ashes I met Owain who has been there to help me guide me and support me, my wife who has been a rock and seemed to be going through thing in a very different way from a very different angle found Toni who again has been her shoulder to cry on, her ears to listen and her voice of support when it was needed most.
These two people from two very different places have been the foundation of our support network and without them things for us would be a great deal harder.
I can’t thank them enough as friends they have become family and there is a love for both of them that is greater than anything I have felt before.
There friendship has come with no conditions, their trust has been given with no cost and their support has been given with out a second thought for themselves with no direct gain. If you are as lucky as I am to have these kind of people in your life then you do everything in your power to make sure you keep them…
