At age 20, Kat’s boyfriend Caleb sustained a spinal cord injury after a car accident. The accident left Caleb paralyzed from the waist down but, through it all, the young couple progresses every day in their emotional and spiritual healing. Initially, Kat struggled with feelings of anger and grief for the couple’s former life, but she overcame these feelings by focusing on Caleb’s progression and healing. Through her blog, Kat shares the couple’s high and low moments, their shared struggles and developments, and their daily adventures.
Kat reveals that when she and Caleb were no longer surrounded by people who wanted to help, the couple focused on emotional healing, and recommitted to living their best life. Although they had relied on others for help for quite some time, they reached a point where they had to make it on their own.
“We get along great on our own,” says Kat, “We go to the movies and work out and take our puppy on “walkies.” After their life-changing experience, the couple has made spending time together a priority.
