Nick Vuychich without arms and legs. Ten rules of happy love from Nick Vuychich. "My son! Doesn't he have a hand?

Nicholas James (Nick) Vujicic is an Australian motivational speaker, philanthropist, writer and singer. Nick was born with a rare hereditary disease, he is missing all four limbs. He learned to live with this lack and began to help children and youth with disabilities.

Probably, everyone has a friend who considers himself bypassed, and life is a failure due to the fact that he did not come out tall or has more than modest external data. Such people often withdraw into themselves and, indeed, are of no interest to anyone. And they blame anyone for this, but not themselves.

The story of Nick Vuychich is amazing: it is the story of a young, handsome, cheerful man who was born without both arms and without both legs. Now he is successful and famous. He happy husband beautiful woman and father of two sons.

His life has changed since the moment when he realized that he could and should help other people. He became one of the best Christian preachers.

"He is beautiful"

Nick Vujicic was born in 1982 in Brisbane (Australia) in a family of Serbian emigrants - nurse Dushka Vujcic and pastor Boris Vujcic. The mother's pregnancy proceeded normally, the father was present at the birth. Noticing that the child who had appeared did not have a pen, he went out in agitation. Later, the doctor who delivered the baby told him that the baby was missing both arms and legs and only had a part of the foot with two fingers (with which the child would later learn to walk, write, and even swim). It turned out that the child had a rare disease - Tetra-Amelia syndrome. One of her symptoms is the absence of limbs. In those years, little was known about this disease, and children with this syndrome very often died before they were born.

The father returned to his mother and when asked what happened to the child, he answered: "He is beautiful."

Nick had courageous, wise and loving parents. They were true Christians, so they took the birth of an unusual child as a test of their faith. They did not try to limit the child in actions, serving him as a disabled person. On the contrary, they encouraged him, convincing him that he could do a lot on his own. “You have no idea what you can achieve until you try to do it,” they told him.

Nick could ask for help from his parents or younger brother or sister, but he preferred to learn everything himself. With the help of special devices, he learned to serve himself: take a shower, wash his hair, brush his teeth, work at a computer, swim. (Nick Vujicic, 32, is currently surfing, skydiving, fishing, golfing, ski jumping and diving.)

Often we ourselves are unaware of our abilities, he believes.

Own way

Nick's parents insisted that he attend a regular school and not a school for handicapped children. The child was very worried when he realized that he was not like everyone else. He had to endure both the ridicule of stupid peers, and loneliness, and. He thought: why did God, who loves everyone, allow him to be born like this, why does he not answer his prayers to give him arms and legs? Sometimes he was haunted by thoughts of suicide: at the age of eight, he wanted to choke on water in the bath, but he was stopped by love for his parents. He knew how much they loved him, and he didn't want them to feel guilty.

He no longer thought about death - he began to be occupied with thoughts, why he was born, what he was like. The answer was a story read to him by his mother, about a man with a serious illness, who not only did not fall into despair, but also provided spiritual support to people in need.

The understanding came to him that God does not make mistakes - he sends trials so that people who endure them with honor fill the lives of other people with faith, hope and love.

"No one can know what God's plans are for us," says Nick.

He was 15 years old when he trusted God and began to help those in need: at school he became a warden and a member of the student council for charity and assistance to the disabled.

motivational speaker

At the age of 19, he was invited to speak to students. Within minutes of his speech, half the audience was crying. And an excited girl got up on stage, hugged him and said that thanks to him her life would change from now on. “No one has ever told me that they love me for who I am. You saved my life,” she said. And this further strengthened Nick in the mind that he correctly understood his mission: to help people find the joy of life and self-confidence. “I have found the purpose of my existence,” he said.

Nick Vujicic founded non-profit organization Life without Limbs ("Life without limbs") and became a professional speaker. Of course, he also understood the importance of higher education. And he even received two of them - in the specialties "accounting" and " financial planning».

In 2005 he was nominated for the prestigious Young Australian of the Year award. This award in Australia is received for great services to society. And in 2009 he starred in movie The Butterfly Circus ("Butterfly Circus"), where he spoke about the fate of a man without limbs.

All good things in life start with hope.

Nick traveled to 45 countries around the world, speaking to a wide variety of audiences: students, businessmen, church meetings, etc. 110,000 people came to his speech in India. In total, he had more than 3 thousand performances.

Once, after a speech in Singapore, he was approached by a respectable man who turned out to be a successful banker. And he asked Nick for help. His wealth could not protect him from moral suffering.

Nick Vujicic is often invited for interviews to tell his story. He is asked the question: “How can you smile and enjoy life?”. But after talking with Nick, people understand that he lives a more complete and versatile life than many of them.

He says that you need to be able to look beyond personal circumstances, and consider obstacles and failures as an opportunity for personal growth. “and guilt should not paralyze you,” he says.

Thanks to Nick, many children were born, whose parents, after examination, were strongly advised by doctors to get rid of the unborn child with a disability. These parents watched a video of Nick (the famous motivational video No arms, no legs, no worries) talking about what a wonderful life he had that could have been taken away from him if the doctors had known about his disability earlier.

Nick Vuychich is not a bore, he is an interesting and sincere interlocutor, possessing. He loves jokes and all kinds of practical jokes.

Books by Nick Vujicic

He writes books by typing with two toes on a computer at about 43 words per minute. The first of them is “Life without borders. Way to amazing happy life” - was published in 2010 (in 2012 the book was also translated into Russian) and immediately became a bestseller.

“Unstoppable. The Incredible Power of Faith in Action (2013),
"Stay strong. You can overcome violence (and everything that prevents you from living) ”(2014),
"Love without borders. The path to amazingly strong love ”(2015).

Love

In 2012, Nick married beautiful girl from the Philippines Kanae Miahare. In the spring of 2010 they were introduced mutual friends. Sometimes a girl is accused of self-interest, but then she had no idea about Nick's wealth. And in general, at that time she was already dating a young man. As Nick later said, before that he looked into the souls of people, and now she looked into his soul.

Nick Vuychich with wife Kanae Miyahara

“I can't take his hand,” Kanae says. But I can hug him. “I can't touch my wife's hand, but I can touch her heart,” Nick said. After all, any person, even with a perfect appearance, first of all needs love, protection and support.

Contrary to idle speculation that their marriage would not last even six months, a year after the wedding, the couple had their first child, Kiyoshi James Vuychich, and in August 2015, their second son, Dejan Levi Vuychich. Their children are perfectly healthy. Nick Vujicic currently lives in California with his family.

He has money, success, a beautiful wife and children.

There are no arms to hug them. “But I will embrace them with all my heart! I am the happiest person on earth!” - sincerely says the one who in childhood was cruelly called "stump" by those around him. Then Nick Vuychich did not even dare to dream of love or family ...

IN CHILDHOOD I WANTED TO DROWN

Nick Vujicic was born in Australia to ethnic Serbs. His birth caused shock to the medical staff and the father, who was present at the birth.

Nick's mother endured the pregnancy perfectly, and there was no doubt that the fetus was healthy. But when a child was born who had no arms or legs, only a body and a head, her husband almost fainted. Moreover, the newborn had an angelic beauty face, and this caused even greater horror of those who saw him ...

Parents were persuaded to leave the "freak" in the hospital. But they took Nick home. For six months they took him to the doctors, fearing that he was about to die. But examinations showed that in addition to a genetic disease that caused abnormal development in the womb, the boy is practically healthy. And live long life. And if so, the parents decided, let it be ... ordinary!

His father taught him to swim, play football and skateboard, his mother figured out how to make life easier for the boy. Nick underwent surgery and a tiny process on the body, like a foot, was divided into two "fingers". "Ham", as Vuychich called him, he first learned to draw, then write and type on the keyboard.

They sewed clothes for me without buttons and zippers, which I adapted to put on and take off. When I was little, I managed to comb my hair: I clamp a comb between two books on a bookshelf and put my hair in order.

Nick went to a regular school, studied on an equal footing with everyone else. They mocked him, laughed at him. Despite the support of his parents, he felt worthless.

“I will never be able to work, I will not have a family, friends - why should I live?.. So I thought then,” says Vuychich. He remembers how once he wanted to commit suicide and tried to drown himself in the bathroom. But, imagining the grief of mom and dad, who loved him incredibly, he surfaced at the last moment.

I decided: if God gave me life, it means that I am needed for something. And I began to inspire other people to live.

He has traveled all over the world giving lectures. Talking about the fact that all difficulties are surmountable, Nick often shows a “trick”: he suddenly falls face down, and then, helping himself with his shoulder and head, manages to get up. “If I could,” he says, “then you can, even more so.”

“You FORGET ABOUT ITS FEATURES IN 10 MINUTES”

AT adolescence Nick dreamed of love, but the girls openly laughed at him. At the age of 19, having got into a Christian camp in America, the guy fell in love for the first time. The girl was not frightened by his appearance, but her father reared up, and Nick, not wanting to become a cause of discord in the family, retreated.

However, as a strongly religious person, Vuychich continued to pray to God to send him love. And seven years ago, at one of his lectures, he met the eyes of a girl, from whom he could no longer take his eyes off.

We immediately felt a strong attraction, - says Kanae Miyahara. - Yes, I noticed that he had no arms and legs, but only briefly. Similarly, I could note that the man I met was tall, thin, or tan.

Nick has such a magnetic attraction that you forget about his features in just 10 minutes. For the sake of Vuychich, the beauty - the daughter of a Japanese and a Mexican - left her boyfriend, whom she had met for more than a year.

Nick made an offer with fiction: he ordered eclairs, in which he hid the ring. He asked the girl to feed him. He bit off a piece, took the ring with his lips and put it on his beloved finger. How else can you do it if you don't have hands?

In the winter of 2012, Nick and Kanae got married. Everything is as it should be: White dress, tuxedos Honeymoon in Hawaii. A year later, a son was born. In two, another one. Both are healthy, despite the fact that Nick's disease can be inherited. The twins, who will appear at the end of the year, will also be physically full-fledged people.

"WHAT'S WITH YOUR SEX?"

At a press conference one day, a woman asked a question that was on everyone's lips, but no one dared to ask: “Nick, how did you even have children? I mean sex - you have no arms, no legs ... "

Vuychich hesitated, there was a pause. “Well… You don’t need legs at all for this. They say they only get in the way,” he replied in his joking manner.

He generally treats everything with humor. When passers-by stare at him in amazement on the street, Nick drives up to them in his wheelchair and “secretly” says: “All because he smoked a lot!” For the children, he prepared a different answer: “I didn’t obey my mother and didn’t clean the house.”

One day, Nick, in collusion with the airline, arranged a prank for passengers: he met them at the entrance to the plane in flight uniform with the words: “I am the commander of the ship, welcome on board.” With this joke, he wanted to show: if there is a desire, everything becomes possible.

My wife - that's who inspires me to exploits, - says Nick. - Together with her we skydive, surf and lead an active lifestyle. When I feel bad, she motivates me: “You can do anything!” I love her madly and I want to say that people who have ailments should not give up on themselves - there will definitely be a person who will love you and make you believe in a miracle ...

Nick Vuychich is a millionaire without arms and legs, whose story will shock everyone to the core. He showed by his example that one can be happy, regardless of life situations. Every day of his is an example of faith that really works miracles. Nick teaches how to find faith and hope in your heart. And most importantly, proves that you can live happy full life if every day to perform a feat. This story is about strong man modernity.

Birth

One of better ways to get rid of the pain of the past is to replace it with gratitude.

December 4, 1982. Dushka Vujicic is in labor. Here is the birth of the firstborn. Husband, Boris Vuychich, is present at the birth.

The shoulder showed up. Boris turned pale and left the birth room. After a while, a doctor came up to him.

"Doctor, is my son missing an arm?" Boris asked. "Not. Your son has neither arms nor legs,” the doctor replied.

Nicholas's parents (so they called the newborn) did not know anything about the Tetra-Amelia syndrome. They didn't know how to handle a baby without arms and legs. The mother did not put her son to her breast for 4 months.

Gradually, Nick's parents got used to¸ accepting and loving their son for who he is.

Failure is the path to excellence.

Leg. So Nick called the only limb on his body. Likeness of a foot with two fused toes, subsequently separated surgically.

But Nick thinks that his "leg" is not so bad. He learned to write, print (43 words per minute), drive an electric wheelchair, push off on a skateboard.

Not everything worked right away. But, when the time came, Nick went to a regular school, along with healthy peers.

Despair

When you feel like betraying your dream, push yourself to work one more day, one more week, one more month, one more year. You'll be amazed at what happens if you don't give up.

“You can’t do anything!”, “We don’t want to be friends with you!”, “You are nobody!” Nick heard these words every day at school.

The focus shifted: he was no longer proud of what he had learned; he fixated on what he could never do. Hug your wife, take your child in your arms ...

One day, Nick asked his mother to take him to the bathroom. Driven by the thought "Why me?" the boy tried to drown himself.

"They didn't deserve this" - 10-year-old Nick realized that he could not do this to his parents, who love him very much. Suicide is not fair. Unfair to loved ones.

self-identification

Other people's words and actions cannot define your personality.

"What happened to you?!" - until Nick became world famous, this was the most frequently asked question to him.

Seeing a man without arms and legs, people do not hide the shock. Sidelong glances, whispers behind his back, grins - Nick answers everything with a smile. "It's all about the cigarettes," he says to the particularly impressionable. And he jokes about the children: “I just didn’t clean my room ...”.

Humor

Laugh as much as possible. In the life of any person there are days when troubles and hardships pour, as if from a cornucopia. Do not curse tests. Be grateful to life for giving you the opportunity to learn and develop. A sense of humor will help with this.

Nick is a big joker. There are no arms and legs - life "played" him, so why not laugh at her?

One day, Nick dressed up as a pilot and, with the permission of the airline, met passengers at the landing with the words: “Today we are testing new technology aircraft control ... and I am your pilot.

People who personally know Nick Vucic say that he has an excellent sense of humor. And this quality, as you know, excludes self-pity.

Talent

If you are deeply unhappy, then you are not living your life. Your talents are being misused.

Nick Vujicic has two higher education: accounting and financial planning. He is a successful motivational speaker and businessman. But his main talent is the ability to convince. Including through art.

Nick's first book is called "Life Without Borders: The Path to an Amazingly Happy Life" (translated into 30 languages, published in Russian in 2012). In 2009 he played leading role in the short film "The Butterfly Circus" (IMDb rating - 8.10). A story about finding the meaning of life.

Sport

It is impossible to argue with the fact that madness is genius: anyone who is willing to take risks, in the eyes of others, appears either as a madman or a genius.

“Crazy” is what many people think when they watch Nick looking for a wave while surfing or skydiving.

“I realized that physical dissimilarity limits me only to the extent that I limit myself,” Vuychich once admitted and did not limit himself in anything.

Nick plays football, tennis, swims well.

Motivation

Consider your attitude to the world as a remote control remote control. If you don't like the program you are watching, you simply grab the remote and switch the TV to another program. It’s the same with your attitude towards life: when you are unhappy with the result, change your approach, no matter what problem you are facing.

At the age of 19, Nick was offered to speak to students at the university where he studied (Griffith University). Nicholas agreed: he went out and spoke briefly about himself. Many people in the audience were crying, and one girl went up on stage and hugged him.

The young man understood that oratory was his vocation.

Nick Vuychich traveled to 45 countries, met with 7 presidents, spoke to thousands of spectators. Every day, he receives dozens of requests for interviews and invitations to speak. Why do people want to listen to it?

Because his performances are not reduced to the banal: “Are you in trouble? Yes, look at me - no arms, no legs, that's who has problems!

Nick understands that suffering cannot be compared, everyone has their own pain, and does not try to cheer up people, they say, “compared to me, everything is not so bad with you.” He just talks to them.

Embrace

I have no hands, and when you hug, you press right against the hearts. This is amazing!

Nick confesses that since he was born without arms, he never missed them. The only thing he lacks is a handshake. He cannot shake hands with anyone.

But he found a way. Nick hugs people... with his heart. Once Vuychich even arranged a hugging marathon - 1749 people per day, hugged by the heart.

Love

If you are open to love, love will come. If you surround your heart with a wall, there will be no love.

They met on April 11, 2010. The beautiful Kanae Miyahara has a boyfriend, Nick has no arms or legs. It's not love at first sight. It's just love. Real, deep.

On February 12, 2012, Nick and Kanae got married. Everything is as it should be: a white dress, a tuxedo and a honeymoon in Hawaii.

Family

Impossible to live full life if every decision you make is driven by fear. Fear will keep you from moving forward and prevent you from becoming who you want to be. But it's just a mood, a feeling. Fear is not real!

Tetra-Amelia syndrome is hereditary. Nick wasn't scared.

And on August 7, Kanae Vuychich gave her husband a son weighing 3.023 kg. The baby was given the name Dejan Levi - and he is absolutely healthy.

Hope

All good things in life start with hope.

Nick Vuychich is a man without arms and legs. Nick Vujicic is a man who believes in miracles. There is a pair of boots in his linen closet. So… just in case. After all, in life there is always room for something more.

And this is a clip of Nick Vuychich with Russian subtitles called "Something More":

His formula for happiness can be summarized in 12 rules. 12 Tips From 33 Years of Life as a Millionaire Who Doesn't Even Have a Fingerprint and Lectures About 250 Times a Year!

1. Don't lose hope, it conquers death

I used to worry that I would never have a wife, that I would never, never in my life be able to have children. But now I have a wife, Kanae, and two wonderful sons - three years and eight months. Senior, Kiyoshi is already taller than me. I used to worry that I would never be able to hold my wife's hand, that I would not be able to hug my children when they were in pain. But now Kiyoshi is hugging me. He says high five and punches me in the shoulder. Now I understand that it doesn't matter if I can hold Kanae's hand, the main thing is that I always hold her heart.

2. If it doesn't work - try again. Do the best you can

I once surfed in Hawaii. Everyone on the beach was watching - a man without arms, without legs wants to ride! I lay on the board and people pushed me into the wave. My friends put a stack of towels on the board so I could lean on them and get up. 15 times I tried to get up. And I didn't get anything.

But my parents taught me: if something doesn't work, try again. If something doesn't work, it doesn't mean you're a failure. If others see your failure, do not humiliate yourself. It's okay if you can't do something. It's okay if you don't have everything. But you can strive for it.

And I tried again and again to stand on the board. And you know, when I finally got up, I thought: “Oh my God, what should I do now!?”.

3. Don't Limit Your Joy

Many people do not enjoy life simply because they limit it. You must have seen the video on YouTube, how I love to joke on airplanes. Sometimes I ask you to put me on the shelf for hand luggage. And once I took a pilot suit from my friend, he works in a commercial airline, and I met passengers in this suit. You should have seen their faces!

Remember, sometimes circumstances dictate what you have, but what you have should not determine the joy within you. Don't let people's opinions or events bring you down.

4. Don't be afraid of hard work

They tell me you're from Australia. But even there, not everything is paved with gold. When my parents moved from Yugoslavia, they only had clothes. Only the one that was on them. They worked hard. And I've always been told to do it.

I was not allowed to be a "bad" boy. They didn't give me money for toys. I had to earn them. I vacuumed the house for two dollars a week. And then he was free to decide what to do with this money - buy toys or give them to the poor.

5. Be grateful for what you have.

Being grateful to your family is just the beginning. I love my leg very much. The fact that I have no arms and legs does not mean that I can become discouraged. Thanks to my small foot I can swim, I have been diving. I even went skydiving.

Yes, when I went to school and everyone teased me, it was very difficult to be grateful. But then I realized that everyone has problems. And perhaps an alcoholic father is scarier than not having arms and legs. We should give thanks for what we have and pray for those who cannot.

6. Hit the ball before it hits you.

Once I played football with my friend. He warned me that he would kick now so that I could get ready. And now I see that the ball is flying at me. And I don't know how to fight back. I want to hit the ball before it hits me. I think it's a head, but it's too low for a head. kick? But I won't get it. And then everything was like in The Matrix - the effect of slow motion. I jump, hit the ball and badly hurt my leg. I can't walk for three weeks. And when I was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, then for the first time I thought: “So this is how disabled people feel.”

7. Go to the goal

There were two people who inspired me to perform. The first - Philip, he could not walk and talk. He had osteomyelitis (this is when the body shuts down in parts). He was 25 years old when we met. He made a website and tried to inspire people to give them back their faith in life.

And the second person is a janitor at the school. He said, "You will be a speaker and tell people your story." I want you to know that it was old man and I respected him. But I never even thought of becoming a speaker. I was going to be an accountant. But he told me this every day for three months.

In the end, I agreed to speak. Then I realized that I can also inspire people. No matter who you are, whether you walk or talk, there is a purpose in your life.

8. Do not invest happiness in temporary things, otherwise it will be temporary.

Father said - you have to work. But try to get people to work for you. You'll have to pay them to do something for you that you can't. You have responsibility for yourself.

And I feel this responsibility. I am complete, I have arms and legs, I know my purpose. I have peace, power and truth. I don't need money, power, drugs, alcohol and pornography to feel happy. These are temporary things and happiness from them cannot be long.

9. Accept yourself for who you are.

Girls, you don't need a new pair of shoes to be happy. You don't need a boyfriend to be happy. Look for a husband who will love you, and when difficulties begin, he will not leave.

Guys think you have to swear sometimes to be cool. Or pump up big biceps. But my biceps were so big that they fell off.

Understand that the pain and dissatisfaction you feel is the devil's. But even from your fragments, God can make something beautiful. The main thing is to accept yourself, understand who you are and what you want.

10. Dream and dreams will become reality

Just because we don't believe in something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. But if we never think about something, then we are not looking for it. If we don't seek, we won't find. If we don't find it, we'll never get it. Everything is simple.

Dreams become reality, miracles become reality. I'm not saying that everything is simple. For example, I will never become a football player. But I can be happy man. Happiness was written in my future. I believe in it.

11. Focus on what you can do

I asked nine-year-olds, "Have you ever had stress?" And they said yes. heavy homework, bad teacher. I asked 13 year olds. They said that everything irritated them - friends, parents, their own changing body. At the age of 17, I was told that they were stressed because of the end of school. “If I enter a university, everything will be fine,” they said. But nothing has changed. Then they will say: "If only I could find a job...". And at work, their boss will annoy them. All the unmarried and unmarried think that they are not happy because they have to find a husband or wife. “When I find a husband for myself, everything will be fine!”

Noooo!

If you are not happy without your husband, then you will not be happy with him either. Focus on what you already have. On what you can do right now. Don't wait for a husband, a job, the end of exams to do what makes you happy!

12. Do it a good choice, it gives good results

The decisions I made before were immobilizing me. I thought: "You have no arms and legs, no one but your parents loves you, you are a burden for everyone, there will be no work, no wife, no goal."

But trust God has a plan for you. If he has a plan for armless and armless Nick Vujicic, then rest assured he has a plan for you.

If you yourself have not received a miracle, become a miracle for someone else. After all, in the end, time and love are the two main currencies. Ask yourself every day who you are and what you want. Do what you can. Remember the poor. Pray. Inspire.

Thank you!

Nick said all this from the stage. He was brought to the podium in a wheelchair, he was taken away from there in a wheelchair. But the whole hall froze from his courage and sincerity. The whole room laughed at his jokes about his knees trembling before a parachute jump, about “not feeling his legs” at the moment of meeting his wife, about his hands sweating from excitement before the most important football match of his life. They applauded standing. And then they let all wheelchair users go ahead - for “hugs” with the legend.

It looks like a myth, a beautiful, instructive, but unreal story. Think about it, a boy born without legs and arms, by the age of 31, is a world famous motivational speaker, a happy husband and father. Nick Vujicic has traveled half the world. He performed at the stadium, and 110 thousand people listened to him. Is it possible?

Sport

It is impossible to argue with the fact that madness is genius: anyone who is willing to take risks, in the eyes of others, appears either as a madman or a genius.

“Crazy” is what many people think when they watch Nick looking for a wave while surfing or skydiving.

“I realized that physical dissimilarity limits me only to the extent that I limit myself,” Vuychich once admitted and did not limit himself in anything.

Nick plays football, tennis, swims well.

Motivation

Think of your attitude to the world as a remote control. If you don't like the program you are watching, you simply grab the remote and switch the TV to another program. It’s the same with your attitude towards life: when you are unhappy with the result, change your approach, no matter what problem you are facing.

The young man understood that oratory was his vocation.

Because his performances are not reduced to the banal: “Are you in trouble? Yes, look at me - no arms, no legs, that's who has problems!

Embrace

I have no hands, and when you hug, you press right against the hearts. This is amazing!

Nick confesses that since he was born without arms, he never missed them. The only thing he lacks is a handshake. He cannot shake hands with anyone.

But he found a way. Nick hugs people... with his heart. Once Vuychich even arranged a hugging marathon - 1749 people per day, hugged by the heart.

Love

If you are open to love, love will come. If you surround your heart with a wall, there will be no love.

They met on April 11, 2010. The beautiful Kanae Miyahara has a boyfriend, Nick has no arms or legs. It's not love at first sight. It's just love. Real, deep.

On February 12, 2012, Nick and Kanae got married. Everything is as it should be: a white dress, a tuxedo and a honeymoon in Hawaii.

Family

It is impossible to live life to the fullest if every decision you make is driven by fear. Fear will keep you from moving forward and prevent you from becoming who you want to be. But it's just a mood, a feeling. Fear is not real!

Tetra-Amelia syndrome is hereditary. Nick wasn't scared.

Hope

All good things in life start with hope.
