Great to meet you Shane and Hannah! These two run a UA-cam channel where they share their daily routine and adventures in detail. Check it out at ua-cam.com/channels/domP1JqhnyBQGaBmfDl4KQ.html.
Special Books by Special Kids hi
Your such a great youtuber and man
💛
She is such a good person to see the good in him. Not everyone takes the time to do that
You know it's a very normal relationship when she can point out things he does that annoy her lol. That cracked me up.
The way she looks at him.. 😭💕
@@albertohoued3453 totally not fair or accurate! Why,on a page of such grand compassion,empathy & love do you find the need to be so rude? Are you that deprived of attention in real life that you actively seek it from complete strangers on a social media platform? Shame on you!
@@damselcausingdistress81 I think they just go to every channel they can find for the memes lul
@@albertohoued3453 Yo Funny dude
* I want to eat him *
I know true love
This is the definition of loving someone genuinely for who they are
would she do it without the fame though lmao
Cole Phelps. They’ve been together for 3 years. Pretty sure the fame came way after
cole phelps lol what fame
That's overly simplistic. She likely is in large part attracted to him BECAUSE of his disability.
@@littlebird8346 really why do you think that
0:59 “You love my body? You should tell me that more often.” -Everyone in a relationship since the beginning of time
she is joking.
@@yolo.kay4191 Yes, she is!
She loves all the money they are making even more
@@yolo.kay4191 Yes, she is. She may have some kind of kink, actually. But no, I really doubt she loves his body.
Of course there are haters in this comment section. People who won’t believe she loves his body are insecure and close minded
This made me realize how empty of a person i am
Why
Same
stundown I'm guessing that this person asked himself if he could do what she does or date someone like him and the answer he came up with was "no".
I don't think that makes you an "empty" or bad person, though. As long as you're open to meeting people and treat everyone like a human being, you're fine. It's easy to say that you don't think you could do something when you're not in a position to do it. You never know what could happen in the future or who you may fall for.
As long as you have an open heart and mind and treat people with respect no matter who they are, where they come from or what they look like, you can have a future with a very full heart indeed.
Then don't be empty, simple .
Hannah is with him because of severe codependency
I wonder if she ever argues with him and just parks him somewhere.
Apollo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Apollo lol 😝... surely if she did, she wouldn’t leave him there for very long.
One of my close friends has the same disability and sometimes we do that lol of course he takes it as a joke if not we wouldn’t do it
belen eguren yea I’ve had friends in school that would tear a muscle or break a leg, and weed say the same thing
In one of the videos on his channel they joke about this exact thing. She just puts him in time out. Lol! They crack me up.
The way she looks at him with such loving eyes every time he talks is literally the purest thing ever💕
Realy? Because its the one thing that makes me question her intentions...inalmost feel like it just seems to much like the way a mother or teacher looks at a child....
Leigh-Anne Cooper that’s interesting but I’ve never seen a parent or teacher look at someone like that. If you watch a lot of their videos you’ll see like she gets this look before she kisses him where she gets a big smile and she seems to get almost giddy with excitement like you do when you kiss someone you love. I’ve never seen a parent or teacher look at their child with THAT much affection. Like I separate romantic love from platonic love and I feel that her look she gives looks romantic to me but that’s completely biased to my ideas of love and affection.
She is a young woman and must be sexually active so then what does she do??????
he said she's his primary caregiver
two words: paid actress. Google Anna Reinalda. She was Shane's "ex". She looked at him in the same way. Suspicious.
"Oh!...… WIN."
Dude is a legend.
🙄
I honestly want their life to be made into a romantic movie.
There's a actually a movie with a pretty similar storyline, it's call "Pumpkin". It's really nice.
Yirimay the difference is that this guy is not mentally challenged at all. I love his dark sense of humor
Yesss
They're working on it
Cake kyo
Shane is not mentally challenged.
Shane has such a charismatic personality I can see why she fell for him.
mootsay totally!
And he's very handsome❤
A very good looking guy and intelligent.
no body is going to see that flag waving offline
I think he is a cool guy.
Lady is cool too
He takes care of her emotionally and she takes care of his physical needs. So happy for them!
Sherre Mullins 😭💕
Except he mocks her and bosses her around. it's not an equal relationship
@@skywarita336 Shane seems to do it a lot more, and it's a lot more pointed. I don't think it's appropriate for him to regularly insinuate that she eats too much.
@@littlebird8346 thats the most ridiculous thing Ive ever heard. To suggest that how he acts within their relationship isnt appropriate is completely moronic. Im sure she knows what she does and doesnt like.
Lol but she says inappropriate things such as he poops his pants daily but it was obviously joke but could be considered mean. So it’s a two way street.
The fact that they met online, that she saw his condition first off and that he didn't see her at first is kinda perfect tbh. I just imagine that scenario is the best for instilling confidence in the relationship. She knows it's never just her looks and he'll never feel like she was "trapped" into the relationship (which she's clearly not but we can't help the thoughts that cross our minds). They love each other for the person they are. Which I think is so awesome and inspiring
Good woman right there
My daughter has multiple sclerosis and she is severely disabled and in a wheelchair.her boyfriend is her caregiver also., God bless you both.
I'm really sorry for your situation. My uncle has been severely affected since 5 years, medical cannabis helps him a lot, especially with pain and lack of appetite, greetings and very good luck to your daughter
My warmest greetings and love ❤️ from Russia
Sending love ❤
@Z Why 2 personalities exactly?
“Time to shower, no more talking” HAD ME DEAD😂

where did he say that

@@ltaylor7241 I think they should show MORE videos like this posted from London ENGLAND
dear people who comment “and i can’t even get a text back?”,
that is a low, condescending and rude thing to say. it’s quite pathetic to presume that if he can have a relationship anyone can. if you don’t have kind words for the couple then don’t comment at all.
*P.S.- Anyone making discrimination comments will be reported!
Aden, it's pretty clear that he has less going for him than most. People are entitled to their opinions.
it’s a joke, calm down smh
She in it for the 💰💰💰
Well said :) I think people lack that empathy and look at it from such a single minded point of view. Of course he got a girl, he's charming af. But I guess there's always UA-cam comments where people say things they would never say to the person's face.
I cant even get a text 😅
I'm disabled from having Spina Bifida and am in a wheelchair as well. This is the kind of love I one day hope to have.
Hope you have great day
i hope you find it my friend. take care.
You will when you least expect it.
Do youtubing or get well off and maybe it'll happen too
I’m a 37 year old big “tough” guy, but I absolutely love these two ! As a caretaker of my 32 year old wife with stage 4 ovarian cancer, caretaking is never a burden to anyone that truly loves you man !
With that being said, SBSK is one of my family’s favorite yt channels. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving EVERYONE the chance to learn more about all walks of life. My children (daughter 13, and son 8) ask to sit and watch SBSK as a family all of the time. Thank you again ! We love you all !
Mad respect to you, Derrick. I'm the main caretaker for my mom, who has multiple myeloma. It can be hard, but it's so worth it.
I can't imagine what it's like to care for someone in that way that you're in love with - it's got to be really difficult mentally sometimes. I think you're an amazing person and I imagine your cheerful outlook on things means the world to your wife. All the best!!
Respect
Respect!!! True love is being always no Mather what for your Friends and family. Your wife must be so happy with the love You are giving !!
I hope your wife is doing alright. Definitely sending amazing thoughts to your family.
Derrick Bullard 🙏 I wish the best for you and your wife
*my first love was disabled..born with severe leg deformity (had zero muscle from mid thigh down and walked with severe difficulty..). He was gorgeous..I was his biggest cheerleader..he was my best friend!*
What happened? Are you guys still together? 😊
Aw that is wonderful:)
@@nightsky3981 we ended up being separated by our parents at 17 (I was sent to my grandparents several states away), because we were both obsessed with each other. I joined the USAF at 18 and last I heard he moved from our home state of Florida to Missouri. I've tried contacting him and sadly he would never return my calls. 6 yrs ago his younger brother told me that because I had married someone I met during my service career, that he was irked at me. I tried contacting him so many times. He was my soul mate and I'll always love him. I pray he's a happy guy Today. 😪💔
DanjA zonE I’m sorry to hear that 😢😢
Holy crap I used to date a guy with the very same condition, but my story ended on a sour note.
The bubbles thing pissed me off. Just because somebody has a physical disability, doesn't mean that they have no mental capacity or act like children! Don't assume somebody's capacity
Ellie Louisë The guy who asked probably had good intentions wanting to be inclusive, we all make assumptions based on what we perceive. The next time he sees someone with a disability he probably won’t even look at them or include them at all.
@@craigjw87 Yeah that's true. He was obviously trying to be sweet, we need more people to make an effort. It was just wrong to assume his mental capacity I guess
Ellie Louisë I don’t think he was trying to be rude. I believe he had good intentions and Probably felt bad about it. I’m sure he’ll think twice if he was faced with a situation like that again, and would go about it differently.
@@prettyredgemini2886 I agree with that. It's just a shame that as a society, we aren't more aware of disability and how to approach somebody who has one. At least he attempted to make an effort though and not just ignored him or stared at him as I've seen some people do.
I agree. I felt the old familiar disgust when got to that part of the video! I guess people think that someone in a wheelchair has a mental handicap or disability too. Wrong. Come again. It would have been sweet if he *had* been a child, but he's not, and I wish he had asked about that first. I'm blind, and I get so tired of people wrongly assuming things that sometimes it feels good to just vent and express how maddening ignorance really is. I love people, but I do not like ignorance and assumptions.
“Love is patient, love is kind. Love is not jealous, it is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury. Love does not rejoice over wrong-doing, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
Nice quote. Money is why she sitting next to him
i feel like this channel has made me more empathetic in general, ive been watching for a while now a kind of feel like i understand people better. i dunno petty lame thing to comment i guess
That's so not lame
Me too, i have been learning from Chris and the experiences that the people in this videos share, and i feel like a more calm and empathetic person. Thank you Chris.
Awesome
More empathy is like the Number One thing we need more of! Seriously!!!!!!!!!!! And I’m a fairly world-wise professor who has spent a lifetime trying to understand the big picture and answer my sister’s perennial question: Why can’t we all just get along? And appreciating our wise mother, who, at the time the book “I’m ok, you’re ok” was popular, thought it shd be, “I’m not ok, you’re not ok, but it’s ok!” Thanks for listening :)
Amen. I can relate.
“Life is better when you’re laughing.” This is so true!
oh really i thought it would be worse.
So true

@@ebutuoy4811 if he had money that everyone claims he has then why doesnt he have that mechanical arm that he wanted to get for his wheelchair to make him a little bit more independent???
@@ebutuoy4811 WHAT money, lol...you sound so ridiculous
I am albino and legally blind. I am insecure about my eyes because they shake and do not maintain focus. I was teased a lot through life and still am sometimes This has stopped me from making a UA-cam channel because I am so insecure about my disability. Thank you Shane. You've inspired me.
Goddess otsutsuki 😍
What does legally blind mean?
@@Technique-kj2bp Legal blindness occurs when a person has central visual acuity (vision that allows a person to see straight ahead of them) of 20/200 or less in his or her better eye with correction. With 20/200 visual acuity, a person can see at 20 feet, what a person with 20/20 vision sees at 200 feet.
"You're doing amazing by the way" the way he comforts her it shows that he takes care of her just as much as she takes care of him. so sweet
Why do i never see the reverse in relationships likes this? I never seen able bodied men who have disabled wives in my life. It's always women. Women are just so compassionate, kind, forgiving and understanding. Something men greatly lack. Unbelievable!
Aksum አክሱም ፣ ንግሥት that’s so true, that isn’t common
exactly! they’d even leave the woman they “loved” if she gets disabled throughout much less date a disabled woman right off the bat
Because you have a confirmation bias. There are millions of able bodied men in relationships with women who have disabilities, I'm one of them and so are many of my friends. There's a lot that needs to be corrected about your language. The women are not disabled, they have a disability. The disability doesn't define them as your poor, condescending use of the language seems to imply.
And secondly, able bodied people are not some prize that people with disabilities need to aspire to have so their existence is validated. People with disabilities aren't lucky to have able bodied partners as your post seems to suggest. Lastly, your circle jerk post about men lacking those qualities is hilarious considering you lack all of them while relying on your confirmation bias and condescension.
Sure there is right on UA-cam but I can't find it again. There is a dwarf lady that had leg lengthening surgery ( but still shorter than normal) that has a 6-foot tall military husband and there is a video with a lady that has facial problems that have a husband. But if they aren't attractive to hookup culture, then they don't get trapped in those pitfalls and they get approached by people looking for real love.
@@KizzyMizz Woman with a disability, not disabled woman. Stop trying to define them by their disability - it's insulting and vile, you bloody ableist.
They literally got married just yesterday. Their video came up 10hrs who as of rn! Good for them
@@littlebird8346 I was wondering about that. I still like the message their relationship sends.
@@littlebird8346u can see the marriage license on there page
I personally look up to this man. He takes something that might make most people sad and flips it. He's happy with life and he's just someone I personally look up to!!!!
“And I love his body and everything about him really...”
Pauses, looks off camera “why are you laughing you told me to say that!” LOLLOL!!?
Yeah, it looks like he set her up and got her good. LOL
That was my fave part lmao! Such a funny and cute relationship
“I didn’t see her to start with. And I think that that is important. I read her email. And I fell for her mind, and her character, and her personality.” WOW THIS IS TOUCHING!💕💕
Omg this is so strange as I was scrolling thru comments I saw this and they just said jt!!!
Gabi Battaglia Has

But what a bonus that Hannah is absolutely gorgeous! They're so hilarious together. 💗
If you watch their videos on their channel, you can tell that they have the exact same sense of humor. Because of that, it's easy to understand why they clicked so well.
He has a legit sense of humour which goes a long way.
Hi Matt! I see we've stumbled onto the same video, LOL!
(me and you are facebook friends, and friends in other places)
Everyone is saying “he’s so lucky to have her,” how about she’s lucky to have him. He’s super good looking, funny, intelligent, good hearted........ on and on. They are both lucky to have each other.
Let's be real. She will be taking care of him the rest of their relationship and that can be burdensome on her even if she doesn't feel like it is now. Many highly disabled people like this guy do not find partners who are willing to take on that responsibility, so I'd say he got pretty damn lucky. I'm glad they're happy, but let's not fool ourselves.
Your saying he got lucky no... she got lucky he's rich now she doesn't have to worry about money ever again.
@@robotikempire I get you. But it can be the case that she's a genuinely good person. And that kind of people don't do stuff thinking about it as a burden. Maybe she's doing it by love. And in that case, even the hardest things aren't burdensome.
Love to all specially those two 💖
Super good looking?
Good looking?
I’ve been following this channel for a really long time and never did I expect MY OWN COUSIN to be interviewed! It brings me such joy to see how far he’s come and how him & Hannah have developed as a couple over the years❤️❤️
How does he get intimate?

Neither do you apparently, S K is asking a question that is on most of our minds but we choose not to ask because we are ‘polite’. SK is most likely younger than both you and I and doesn’t understand.
" Life is better when you're laughing"
This guy has understood how living his life. I think highly of you and I hope your life will be amazing with Hannah😘
I'm so happy Shane has found medicine that works for him :) It's crazy how much his speech has improved since this video :D
I wish he could stay on Spinraza, but whatever keeps him alive and kicking for decades to come!
"Does he want to play with bubbles?" oh.my.gosh. People. please.think.before.speaking.
Mary Smith I thought the same thing! I'm sure the man had good intentions but still...
I'm a teenager and still enjoy playing with bubbles. Moreover, I expect that I'll still enjoy playing with bubbles when I'm 50. I get your point though.
I get that the bubble blowers presumed a bit too much, but given the disabilities they THOUGHT he had, you have to give them credit for wanting to make him happy and include him in their fun. If he did have the mental capacity of a child, he would've enjoyed playing bubbles. I think it was very sweet of them for offering, as opposed to ignoring him as if he never existed. And this would've been the time to educate them and explain that physical ability/disability doesn't reflect mental capacity, and become friends. Sure, one could become offended and angry at the wrong assumption, but that would lead people to shutting down and refusing to even try and be nice the next similar opportunity. Their heart was in the right place. Use that as a springboard to educate them, because they seemed like the type of people who would listen and take heed, and even educate others..Besides, who doesn't like bubbles? :-)
@@flxmkr - I agree. However I cannot imagine how many people speak directly to Hannah and not to Shane. That part is very sad and everyone needs to be taught to address the person in the wheelchair directly, if possible.
im sorry but that does make me laugh. does he want to play with bubbles ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I don't think they were trying to be mean though.
“And she helps me poop.”😂 That’s true love right there.
That's what made me like him right away--what a great sense of humor!
Madelynn King I couldn’t do it
Isn’t that a normal part of every relationship? My ex has some explaining to do.
Yeah. "true love". More like $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
These videos are some of my favorite, their humor, their love, I’m so happy I’ve found their channel. This is truly beautiful.
This is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen. Seeing this made my day so much better. You two are amazing
Like I'm not even suprised. He's a confident, funny and brave guy, why shouldn't he have a girlfriend?
Who says he shouldn't. He seems like hes bae several
RIGHT? what a cutie. love them.
Omg is that Rhett in your profile picture? 😂

This will continue after his passing. There will be a grieving widow tour. Followed by a book. Then a memorial. While you'll be painting rainbows.
When Shane says “and then I saw her face... WIN” LOLOL I love you guys ❤️😇 I wish you guys nothing but the best in life!!

When Shane said "that hurts" Hannah looked like she was ready to find everyone that ever implied she couldn't be attracted to him and rip their head off
shane is so sweet and so is hannah, im so glad they found each other and are happy together.
Ever since I was diagnosed with autism in 2017.. I have struggled to accept it until I started watching these videos and realized disability is not a bad word .. it doesn't make you less of a person.. it just means your path in life will be different than for neurotypical able bodied people and that is okay.. these videos also encourage me to not let my "condition" hold me back from reaching my goals in life and ultimately have helped me to accept myself 😊
Proud of you for accepting yourself!
Perfect words! I didn't have this channel when I was diagnosed with autism, I think it would helped a lot though, but I was happy with a lot of help from family and friends. But I think for people with whatever kind of disability this channel is perfect. Also for the narrow minded persons btw.
What type of Autism?
@@korylooper3170 with all due respect these are not the old days anymore and autism always existed only they didn't call it autism back then .. I don't think of myself as disabled but it makes me different and that's not necessarily a bad thing.. to me autism is simply a different neurology than the norm, which makes surviving in a predominantly neurotypical world very difficult because of lack of understanding, such as from people like yourself .. please do not comment back because I do not appreciate any form of abliesm
@Jill Harris thank you , you too ! and don't worry I don't let that hold me back 🙂
It warms my heart to know that these two have each other. So beautiful and genuine ❤️
This must be the only video with comments. So I have lots to say.
This channel is sooooooooo respectfull. It’s beautiful. It makes me apriciate disabled people so much more. I want you to know how much I love all these videos. And it makes me want to be friends with someone who needs it so much. I can not thank you enough for being so respectful of these beautiful people, and sharing it with us.
THANK YOU!!!!
I CANT STOP SMILING IM SO HAPPY
The woman is gorgeous and the way she looks at him is nothing but pure love ❤️
i can see the love through her eyes. Its so touching.
This is so beautiful I sincerely hope I can achieve a relationship this fulfilling and genuine like theirs. Thank you all for sharing. Peace and love!
this world needs more people like you two!! just good kind hearted & mature people, you guys are great!! 💕 God Bless You Guys

PROOF that you don't have to be able-bodied, wealthy and/or "hot" (...or whatever you want to call it) to score a beautiful, loving GF...you just need to be a good, kind, intelligent, caring person and be fortunate enough to come across the right one...or see if she finds you first.
@The Meta just be patient and let the universe do its thing
Sr Hr No it's not really proof of anything. A couple of things: They never disclosed his income or what she earns by taking care of him. Additionally, she isn't married to the guy, so being a girlfriend isn't exactly a long term commitment.
Nor does everyone think she’s beautiful
_ _ long term commitment? His illness is progressive dudel. And judging by how much caregivers get paid I don’t think she’s doing it for that reason..
Chicken Nugget well no that’s just rude my opinion was too but you took it to a next level lol
I really hope to love someone so much in life that I could look past any disability they could receive in the future.
kaship98 I know
if it’s true love, you’ll love them no matter what they look like. most of the time, being physically attracted comes with being in love.
You don't look past it, you *accept* it.
I think what they are trying to say is their love isn’t the reason she can “look past” his disabilities because his disabilities where there before the love was. It is about changing your mindset. Like with these videos Chris makes we need to be a people that doesn’t let disabilities be the forefront of someone’s personality. Seeing people as people rather than their disabilities etc. Than you won’t have to look past anything.
She's not looking past it. She's always seen it. She accepts it. She encourages him. You can love someone and their disability.
As a long time special education teacher, this channel is so informational. It provides honest encounters and assists viewers to encounter special people with less anxiety and more true interactions. Great channel
Informative???
@@vl2425 informational
Thankfully a video I can comment on, Chris you are an Angel sir, this channel has inspired me in a way I never thought possible. In my 20’s I worked with developmentally disabled adults, I gave up on it due to the red tape and politics surrounding care in the state I lived in, this has reinvigorated my passion for caring for others. I cannot thank you enough.
They both seem a very kind, loving couple.
Chris I absolutely LOVED this! NO words.
That's a haircut
Pxo Gamer why does it look edited on😂
My gods this channel is just beautiful... this kind of love is what this world is in desperate need of.
Such an inspiring & beautiful angle of love unconditionally and how strong people who are disabled are. I really support everything about this and encourage others to view the people, all people in the world as equally wanted and normal as you & I.

At least there are women like her who would love and care for a disabled man who can’t physically take care of himself I am glad they are women like her she’s beautiful inside and outside and he’s lucky to have her.
Yah just waiting for mine i am phyisicaly disabled had 2 back surgeries leg surgeries arm surgies and feet surgeries. I also have a back fracture and have to eat vegan organic non pesticide non chemical do do to what gmo is which is horrible. Anyways i pray i find a girl that can be there for me like he has her :).
I'm inspired by this love story.. btw, love your tag name
As a guy in a wheelchair, their story is equal parts hopeful and frustrating. I’m really happy for them. ❤️
I love these two so much 🥺❤
Their channel is by far my favorite. They are the true definition of love
I have cerebral palsy and walk on a walker. This video gives me hope in finding love one day.
The walker doesn't define you, neither does CP. I'm sure you are beautiful inside and out!
I have cerebral palsy too and it used to be hard for me most definitely, but I crafted my relationships through LOA.😊😊
What side of your body does the cp affect? Because i have it also
@1100 0010011110 thank you!
My brother has cerebral palsy, he doesn’t walk with a walker or anything like that, just his arm and leg on his right side are effected, but he’s 27 now but he met his partner when he was 18. She’s the love of his life. He’s also has a lot of cerebral palsy friends who are in relationships. Don’t worry love will come to you 😌
“Life is better when you are laughing”
Exactly! Sometimes I forget that!
Yay a video I can comment on! This is currently my favorite channel and these two are currently my favorite couple. They are both very lucky to have each other.
This is so inspiring to me. There's someone out there for everyone, and it will happen naturally. This has honestly made me feel really good about my prospects of finding someone in the future.
I wish people would treat those with disabilities a lot better, and learn to understand their needs and feelings.
Of me to do because I know how much my partner loves me wheels and all
chris herbert I don’t understand the polar opposite of doing so, isn’t it part of our humanity to feel compelled in loving and understanding those with less fortunate conditions, there is something off with people when they aren’t that way, their humanity has been contaminated with something
7:29 - "The first time I saw her face I was like. Oh. WIN!!!" lol
yea, i was also confused.. its not a normal reaction lmao.. he's cringy asf

That is not what they was saying oml.
Congratulations. You just pissed me off.

“I have to grow out my mustache”
“I know”
Moonchild Mn - you love white man long time?
If this doesn’t teach you how to love your life then nothing will.
I agree with your sentiment but the guy is disabled, not in Auschwitz. Telling some people to love life - not conceptually but actually feel it - would be akin to telling him to run. Still a useful thing to say, I'm just being critical.
@@contactkeithstack you know there is no one kept in auschwitz anymore, right?
“I fell for her mind, I fell for her personality” ugh 😊 I love those kind of relationships
For everyone saying she’s freeloading off him she doesn’t have much to. if you follow them you’d know that she is not a paid caregiver and wouldn’t get a dime if something happens to him. So it’s extremely disrespectful for people to second guess the strong relationship they have together.
Aaron S people don’t want to believe that other people will do things simply out of love, because they themselves don’t have the capacity to be that way, so they self reflect and assume they know the in and out, and make all these negative comments and false analyzations to make sense of things, because their small incapable minds can’t decipher the idea that there is someone out there that is doing something they would never do without an advantage.
Marie Sparrow facts.
No way she freeloading she’s taking care of everything for him! If anything freeloading is the wrong word to use!
I half to admit I had some of those thoughts I am sorry God forgive me and God bless you both .

So beautiful and warm hearted realtionship! Thank you for showing us and letting us being a part of your daily life and enlighten the society :-). ALL MY BLESSINGs!
Shane & Hannah, you two are absolutely amazing! This is the kind of story that gives me hope of a possible future true love. I also have spinal muscular atrophy, although mine is (type III). Had a beautiful wife for 9 years whom I loved dearly but suddenly left me for a trucker. I was completely chattered. Just as I was losing hope of ever finding a stable and loving wife some day, the love Hannah has for you Shane is proof that there are still women out there who have that kind of affection and unshakable determination to love someone, no matter the circumstances. Thank you both for sharing your story.
Your channel is so underrated it’s unbelievable. I don’t know how you aren’t getting so much more recognition! This channel is beautiful and perfect and so much needed in the world. I’m so glad you make these videos. You deserve the world. Thank you for also showing us a part of the world we don’t see, and helping us realize to not take things for granted. Much love
1mill sub is not underrated budy
I love your pfp
I can clearly fuckin see he has 1 million. My statement above still stands. He is way more underrated than he should be.
Anne thank you ❤️❤️
@@ilovebilliejoe35 😂😂😂😂😂
If these two don’t get married I’m gonna be devastated. They are the cutest couple
What if they stayed together forever unmarried? 😉😘
@@Amusegirl1980 didn't you know that this is Impossible?!🕵️ Just Kidding, good Point 🕺
They reminded me that the hardest part of an interabled relationship where one person is the caregiver is becoming isolated as other people don't understand, don't relate. And, of course, the fact that one person is dependent while the other person can just walk away. That becomes more and more of a difficult dynamic as the years go on.
Grace Norman Dont hang your hopes on the coat hanger of other people, find the statisfication you need from love in your own life and relationships, don’t base it off of others
I want to thank you for all you do. I have watched this video multiple times. It is so filled with hope for all of us. This video introduced so many of us to Shane and Hannah. I've shared this video with my son and family. My son was diagnosed last year with Ankilosing spondylitis. It is a horrible painful disease both physically and mentally. It is nothing like or related to spinal muscular atrophy but it also impacts every area of his life. Ankilosing spondylitis can have a genetic component. We are still trying to learn about it as I/ we have seen/ found little information on it. You, Special Books by Special Kids, as well as Shane and Hannah and all your friends brighten our days and give us hope. Sorry for repeating myself.
I am so glad to see SBSK has had the comment section unblocked.
y’all i’m crying. as someone who works with people with disabilities, cognitive and physical, this is amazing. hannah and shane give me faith that they will teach the world that everyone is the same and deserving of love
I actually think that the bubbles guy was very sweet and it literally made me smile. Yes he got the wrong assumption thinking he was facing a kid with a mental disability but I think it was a very loving gesture, especially since you said he was there with his kids. I think it was a good way to teach his kids to always accept the others no matter their physical appearance, he had a sweet heart and I think in this you should have explained him the situation and educate him on your condition.
@Ale Silva yep the bubble guy could of just walked awkwardly past but he tried to make his day better he had good intentions :)
@Jessica Daniel of course. It is understandable that he felt bad by that father's misunderstanding. This comment just means that if he could look it in another perspective, a perspective that maybe that father just wanted to do something nice but didn't know better, and maybe he could make that father understand more about how to approach people with certain conditions.
As a person with a disability, it gets very tiring to have to constantly educate everyone you meet on your condition for their or the worlds benefit. I would describe it as feeling like being at work 24/7 year after year and it's not fair to expect that of people. Also (maybe because my disabilities came on slowly and only the mobility issues are visible and only because I use equipment) I have a difficult time keeping my mother or my partner of 10 yrs from forgetting how they affect me. I just cant imagine having to educate everyone I meet sufficiently because apparently it's difficult to learn and accept what people strengths and limitations are? I imagine it may even be more difficult when it's more visibly different and people have preconceived ideas that your a child, or intellectually disabled, or nonverbal etc. Just my thoughts. Maybe I'm wrong and because I look pretty similar to able bodied people that is why it's so hard to explain to my family because they cant stop treating me as a "normal" person who just fails as basic things. But when I re-educate or ask them directly they say they know ...but within wks it happens again... I'm sorry I'm getting off topic. It's not just me though most disability activists say it's not fair to expect people to educate you on their disability. It sounds like the Bubbles man learned everything he needed to when the gentleman looked at him and said "No, thank you." Lol. Priceless. Of course Bubbles' master meant well, it's rare that someone would not be well intentioned. It's just ignorant. Thus the need to be educated. I think he was, though. Or that'd be a pretty big Whoosh.
I know right and he must have felt pretty terrible afterwards
Rick Laurent Feely , thank you! For years I got asked, “what did you do” like my slight disability is MY FAULT several times a day!! Strangers thought it okay to just say that 1st thing just as I’m trying to run errands. It is so tiring to have to explain it to loved 1s who don’t understand or see me often. I get such dirty looks when I need a wheelchair because, for the time, I can’t walk.
Its funny, like halfway into the video I noticed that I was starting to see through his disability. I was a little confused about how this relationship is legitimate but it really does make sense when you look at it for what it is: just two kind-hearted people.
and free money maybe
410Ericc YEASSS
Nes D - free money?
Nes D - well she takes care of him so its only fair to get paid for it
@@nessnake123 I've been thinking about living cost but not in that way, tho. I have a downsie niece, she also has cerebral palsy so she can't walk, I can tell that caring for disabled people is hard. Money only cannot make u do it, especially when you're still that young and lively
SBSK Has shown me so much about people with such a wide range of disabilities. What Shane said about how the world makes assumptions about him because he looks a bit different. That hit home. I do that. And how Shane looked when he explained that made me feel bad about when I've done that.
This channel is so enlightening. And Chris seems like such a genuine person!
I feel in love with this couple they are both so genuine and honest love their channel and watch every chance I get !
God damn they're so good together. Need to find someone who looks at me like that
Yupp!
@Dan I think you forgot that you're on the internet.
@Dan ... jeeeeezus christ.... stop...
Grown adults speak as grown adults want....
Goddamnit
@Dan go back to church jesus boy
What a gorgeous relationship..you can tell how in love they are
I just found the SBSK channel and am completely obsessed with it and I've been following Shane and Hannah for a while so it's so cool to see them on here!!
So glad the comments work for this video! ❤️ Love both channels!
Yes yes yes ... the answer to that question is always and forever yes... Are you worthy of love? Yes you are worthy of love; of self love, of love from friends, family and those closest to you ~ and you / we are worthy of divine love. I love this video. I laughed, and laughed, and laughed some more. What we have is each other; celebrate that, pour joy and honesty into that. ty
I am shook. I have been in a couple interabled relationships and it’s a beautiful experience. I wish we had more portrayals of interabled couples in the media, TV, and movies, where they are seen and understood as everyday couples. I wish PWDs were overall better represented in the media. Ahhh! I’m so shook, it’s bits of social media like this that take the first steps!!
I feel like this channel is so beautiful bc everyone who watches this either learns a new perspective or they are touched bc a story similar to theirs is being heard, told from a genuine perspective. Thanks for telling a story similar to mine that strikes a chord. THANK YOU!!! 🙏♥️
Yesica1993 everything has to be sugarcoated these days
I think there are many people, like myself, who are completely ignorant to interabled relationships and I wish there was more information being portrayed through the media. This was a suggested video through another video and I'm so glad I got to learn more about interabled dating!
I love this couple, thanks for interviewing them!
