Life is filled with challenges, and for those like me, born without arms and legs, the difficulties are even more profound. However, perhaps the hardest thing I have ever faced was not the physical obstacles of daily life, but losing the woman I loved.
I remember the day we met. She always looked at me with eyes full of love, never seeing my disability as a barrier. We fell in love, got married, and started a family. In those early days, our love and understanding seemed strong enough to overcome any obstacle.

I remember the day we met. She always looked at me with eyes full of love, never seeing my disability as a barrier. We fell in love, got married, and started a family. In those early days, our love and understanding seemed strong enough to overcome any obstacle.
But life does not always go as we hope. The invisible burdens of caring for a disabled person gradually took their toll on her. Each time I needed help, I could see the fatigue in her eyes. I tried my best to be independent and lessen her burden, but it was merely a drop in the ocean.
We sought help from counselors, attempting to hold our relationship together. Yet, despite all our efforts, it wasn’t enough. She began to grow distant, and eventually, she decided to leave. The day she walked away, my heart shattered. Losing the love of my life was incredibly painful, especially knowing that part of the reason was my disability.
An incomplete life took away my beloved wife. But from that pain, I learned to become stronger. I realized that love is not just about sharing joy but also about sharing burdens. I do not blame her for not being able to continue; instead, I am grateful for the happy moments we had.
Now, I have learned to accept myself more, finding joy in the small things in life. I hope my story serves as a reminder to everyone that love requires empathy, sharing, and mutual acceptance. Loss may be a part of life, but it also provides an opportunity to become stronger and understand the true value of love
