I understand your depression growing up, but really, youre very attractive, and have a very attractive down to earth personality. Plus theres alot of women that want to raise children but dont want to bear them.

Tyler, thank you for sharing your story publicly. I know it was inspirational to me, informative to others, and hopefully can be inspirational to my 5 year old boy at some point. I found it quite interesting that you remarked about the hatred for the scented anesthesia mask they use for surgery. Just recently, my boy has been able to verbalize his feelings about the many surgeries and procedures he has had to endure (over 15 surgeries to date) and the mask is at the top of the list!

You have the right like everyone else... My two kids loved my finacee who has spina bifida and we are getting married this month. Just believe in God and continue helping others. One day you will be surprised...

Hi, Tyler. My name's Lori. I was born with spina bifida in 1970. I'm something of a writer myself, still trying to discover my niche. I've been published in a local newspaper. I hope to write for world-wide publication eventually. You really can do anything you set your mind and heart to. If you'd like to contact me, you can do so at lorireece1@Comcast.net. Stay strong, my friend.

What an enjoyable video this was. My adopted sister also has SB and hydro. Man, I wish she had your attitude. She has pity parties quite a lot, though I really don't blame her as she also had a stroke and it affected the part of her brain that controls her personality. Her family tended to baby her a lot (they admit their error) when she was growing up and that probably had something to do with it too. Anyhow, our apartment building's name is New Hope.  LOL!!!! :o)
