Sealed With A Kiss

She added, “he was smiling, while I could not control my tears. His face and hair still had dirt mixed with some dried blood on it and he had not brushed his teeth in 4 days, but I kissed him anyway.” Seeing him awake was all she has been waiting for. She didn’t even bother to ask the result of the operation.

Falling In Love

“It was in that moment, that I truly knew I loved him and was really in love with him,” said Amber. The girl who was planning on taking it slow was completely in love with Ty. The boy she started dating casually became the love of her life but Ty lost something forever after this accident.

Six Weeks Of Care

For the next two weeks, he was kept in ICU and later transferred to the general inpatient area. The doctors kept him under observation for the next six weeks. Even in the hospital, Ty didn’t forget to catch up with his school work. He completed his assignments in the hospital and Amber was a step ahead of him in bringing him back on track. Yes, they were trying to act normal but many things were different now.

Instant Grown Ups

The accident resulted in a sudden change in both of the teen’s nature. They were in love and more responsible than ever before. Their parents were proud of how their kids were becoming wise individuals. She knew the importance of spending each and every moment with her newly found love. Well, even if they were together, they were going to face more troubles in their lives.

Every Moment Together

They continued their weekend dates without even a single miss.“Without fail, we spent every moment together that we could, no matter the distance. As the years went on, we learned more about living Ty’s new normal – in a wheelchair. There was still no movement or feeling below the chest.”

Adapting To A New Life

Ty and Amber got used to this new style of life. She said, “as the years went on, we learned more about living Ty’s new normal – in a wheelchair. There was still no movement or feeling below the chest. He now does not use the restroom the same as you and I, he has to take routine medicine that a 17-year old should not have to take and he now needs help with getting in and out of cars.” But something still remained the same.
