Father Of Two With No Arms Or Legs | BORN DIFFERENT

I'm three foot six and I was born without arms and legs when somebody tells me I can't do something that's just that fire that fuel to make sure I can do it I want to share my story with families that have children born like me putting a smile on someone's face can't even explain the feeling she's just amazing different is my name is Ryan I'm 40 years old my husband father and I was born with a disability called congenital limb deficiency that made me born without arms and legs I actually have arms and legs but they're much shorter this is for my cooking show cooking with no hands the kind of questions I get are always always range from like how do you drive how do you eat how do you do how do you have children and I mean just any question you can think of how do you go to the bathroom and everybody's like oh I just might bother you isn't that annoying the hardest thing about living with no arms and legs is that people see me without arms and the legs I don't want you to look at me as someone with no arms or legs I mean look at me as my friend my my colleague or some really cool some really cool guy that has a sweet sneaker collection [Music] when I was first born the doctors took me away from my parents and my mom asked the doctors like where's my son at and they said there's been a problem and we wanted to talk to you about this before we bring him in here and she said no please bring my son in right away and they said well your son was born without arms and legs and before we give them to you you want you to know that it's okay if you don't want to keep them and my mom said what are you talking about that's my son bringing my son now [Applause] they said that Ryan will ever never have a regular job or be able to go to school or drive a wheelchair and never be able to drive a car [Music] you'll never be able to have a family so when somebody tells me I can't do something that's just it's just that that fire that fuel to make sure I can do it so how'd you do right I met my wife when I was 20 years old what are you working on I did this one earlier oh that's sweet I saw you posted that when I first met Ryan I didn't see I must be indifferent we just connected we just kind of hit it off right away and that was it [Music] my kids are my life like everything I do I do I do for them how he moves through life and the way that he was born is so natural for us you see him as our dad he's taught us so many different things that other fathers might not teach us can't go around and complain about the little things that other people might be able to he really changes you outlook on life so this is my office where I work at home work on stuff for social media started collecting shoes when I was a kid luckily they don't get dirty because I don't walk on the ground and my feet haven't grown so I've been able to save a bunch since I was young a few years ago I was at work and someone ran up to me and I said hey my cousin's wife is having a baby and she they just found out that she's gonna be born without arms would you mind meeting with her and before the baby's born and if you don't want to do it I completely understand and I said of course I would love to [Music] [Applause] hi guys we found out about Ryan when I was pregnant we were so excited to meet his family because there was so much unknown hey Gabriella she just turned 2 in August and she was born with no arms and shortened legs nothing seems to stop her I mean she she gets around the house what does anybody else can she plays with her toys that she has play I wanna dance with somebody son Owen is three and a half and he was born with congenital limb differences affecting all four of his limbs for Owen to even see a role model just like himself every time Ryan Cyr you know it lights up no one born right here you can knock it over and you get it knock it over she's gonna win oh you won like when I was when I was younger growing up my parents didn't know anybody that was born like me so like I I just love that I'm able to like meet kids that are born like me and maybe teach them a few things that like that I've learned in me Ryan's just an invaluable person to us and they give me pizza so it's really good yeah love you today was amazing we built some blocks walls and we knocked him down just like we're gonna do every day in our life we're gonna face some challenges we're gonna build him up and we're gonna knock him down it was a comfort to meet somebody who was never letting anything stop him there's a saying you know failure is not an option am I saying as failures a must you can't learn anything in life unless you fail at it you try and you fail hey bye when I sit back and think about all the adversity I faced and everything that I ever had to deal with I'm definitely proud of myself you know fighting through all those things and being Who I am today you
