A young couple’s love has only deepened after a devastating accident. The horrific, life-changing incident has brought the young man and woman closer. Check out the short but beautiful, tear-jerking clip to hear about this couple’s powerful story. Make sure you have tissues nearby; you will need them.

Life is unpredictable. No one knows what will happen from one moment to the next. We can have a good idea of what might happen based on past experiences. But anyone who says they can predict the future is either lying, crazy or probably a little bit of both.

Sadly, due to life's unpredictable nature, bad things can and do happen. Typically, they occur when we least expect them, catching us completely off guard. But while we may be caught off guard and unprepared for them, how we respond to those situations and circumstances matters.

A clip posted on YouTube shows the beautiful and heartwarming way one couple responded to a horrific injury that left one of them paralyzed a week after they started dating. Brooklyn hit her head on the bottom of the pool, leaving her paralyzed. But her boyfriend and now fiancée, Alan, did not leave her side the entire time she was in the hospital.

Following the injury, Brooklyn spent months in the hospital recovering and rehabilitating. At that time, she told Alan she would understand if he wanted to move on and date someone else.

“I had told him that, like, I understood if he, like, if he didn’t want to continue dating or anything like that just because I wasn’t naïve to that, that not everyone can do that or wants to do that,” she said. “But he never left my side.”

Alan is amazed by Brooklyn as he remains by her side, watching what she has done since her injury.

“To witness firsthand all that she’s got to accomplish and do, even with the injury, has been, I mean, nothing less than amazing,” he said. “And again, I’m very blessed that I get to have one of the front-row seats to that experience.”

Five years since the accident, the two are now engaged.

“He is just such a blessing,” she said. “That’s one of the number one words that comes to my brain when I think of Alan, is just a blessing straight from God.”
