In some cases, they may be stronger and better. Let us face it, dating is hard, whether you are disabled or not.

And while gradually falling in love is one thing, falling in love at first sight especially with someone living with a lifelong condition and sire a child together is another thing.

"Going to work with public means sitting for long hours and still God never allowed any complications to take place even for a single day," she added.
