Very true! I saw when he transferred her from the chair to bed with ease, but sadly we all grow older, what’s going to happen when he gets older and isn’t strong enough anymore. Sad to think about that too.

The look on her face when she kisses her is so heart melting she loves her mom so much you can tell in her eyes and face. I relate my son is nonverbal but I can see the love he has for me when I kiss him I see his reaction and it makes all the hard times so much worth it

Her mother is such a beautiful soul and her dad is a gentle giant.

I feel for the 12 year old she is so strong as well and helps her sister and supports here mum 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Not very often am I somewhat at a loss for words...All I can say is that the tender, gentle spirit, grace & deep love for her Family that Mrs. Gear exudes is so palpable that I can literally FEEL it...

Thank you so much for making the Attitude series. I have CP. My Mom was the reason I have a life. My brother had a disability as well. We were always loved. Our mom kept us at home and raised us to be as able and as loving as we could. She raised two happy kids with physical disabilities. That’s an accomplishment.

I can’t work as a nurse anymore but my love of the people, medical field and loving to still learn new things has me absolutely addicted to these wonderful videos. Thank you so much!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

God these parents... anyone would be the luckiest person on the planet to have this mother & her husband. Wow

I feel ya gurl.. I have a disabled daughter who doesn't walk talk crawl, I feed her through her gtube... and she's getting bigger and I'm getting older.. and what some don't talk about is fear of their future if they outlive us... where do they go and who will love and care for them as much as we do? How will they defend themselves from any type abuse in a special home if they should go there... not all of us have family that can or are able to care for our special high needs children when we die....

Still work but it takes all strength to get through day. Parents in 90s, can't help. No other family able to help in any way, care, finances. They don't want to, anyhow. Don't have room or suitable living quarters. Afraid there's only one thing to do, spend myself down until I get taken to care home. This is wrong when with assistance, I could continue being contributing member of society.

I’m so sorry; it’s an impossible situation thinking about leaving your severely disabled children/siblings behind when you pass from this world. The best you can do is trust that your family bonds are strong enough to extend to the next generation. Even if a family is close and full of love, there’s still that little fear in the back of your mind that circumstances will prevent the younger ones for caring for the older disabled family. It’s heartbreaking, and I’m sorry for anyone with that fear.

This Mom needs to be the whole worlds Mother for us to feel love by an amazing mother at least once!

I have so much admiration for these parents. They’re true heroes.

The 21yo does not seem like life is in her. It seems like she breaths but nothing else. I see this is painful to have a healthy baby, 5 months in, she catches a disease that changes her forever in this way. That would be so hard to deal with. This is sad.

What an incredible family! Mum is just an inspiration..and daughter is amazing..what a beautiful example of family ...and as a Maori woman, I think Courtenay deserves some recognition....so much negative publicity about abuse in homes.particularly in Rotorua....heres one Maori chick rocking her world and doing a job that very few other people would cope with...and doing it brilliantly! This family has reduced me to tears...so wonderful. xx...someone please start a fund to buy a house for this couple..I'll contribute!.

This lady is one amazing mother. Looking after a home and family is hard enough but to be as gentle and patient with two children with disabilities is so wonderful to see. The father is as amazing as the mom. There has to be a committed love between people that is growing all the time it appears with this couple where others grow farther away from each other. All the way around it is a wonderful atmosphere to raise a family.

I hope to be as good of a mom as this amazing woman.

Wow, this mother wient throught this with her daughter we she was only 18. I would so not have been able to handle that well. I mean I would do what I had to do, but this mom is amazing. I realize that she has been doing this for years now, but even when she is struggling she shows so much grace.

This is so beautiful. Such a brave mother and loving support from her family and the rest of her local community. It's the typical maori/islander love that we have for eachother. ❤️

Idk if she has a GJ tube, but ask her doctor about venting from the G port. I can also empathize because I know how bad the stomach pain and digestion issues can be when u r just tube fed.
