    Reggie I have been waiting for the comments to open just tell to you how sweet you are. You are such a genuinely kind and beautiful person. Anyone would be lucky to be your friend. Those who are afraid to don't deserve your friendship. I hope you have supportive people around you because you deserve so much. What a gift you are to this world ❤

    Our bodies are temporary. Physically we all change when we get older watching my grandmother having more and more limitations not being able to get around anymore. It doesn't matter what we look like. What matters is how we treat each other while while we are still here. Our souls are perfect.

    What a sweet, kind, honest man! Reggie, you have been through a lot with your condition and the fact that you are still so kind and gentle says a lot about you and the awesome person you are. I’m so sorry you have dealt with so much adversity just for being who you are. We are not afraid of you here. We love you, and we are your friends. We accept you and believe you are worthy of love, acceptance, and friendship!

    I just want to give you a hug 🥰 within the first minute it's clear how sweet you are. It's so hard sometimes to step back and see the bigger picture, that your soul is what matters and your body is just a temporary vehicle.. you have a beautiful soul. I'm sorry you have had to go through any bad experiences because of your disability. It's not fair.. it hurts my heart that you worry about scaring people. I have a prothestic eye, which may seem so small and trivial compared to a lot of these videos. But in my own personal world it's hard to deal with, especially when it's on your face and unavoidable. So I really appreciated what you said at the end of the video. Thank you ❤
