She Proposed After I Lost My Sight: How Tomi and Anu Rebuilt Their Love

She Proposed After I Lost My Sight: How Tomi and Anu Rebuilt Their Love — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Tomi and Anu first met as teenagers at a New Year party in 2009. After a shy early relationship and years apart, they reconnected in 2018 and began planning a future together. Their plans were interrupted in 2019 when Tomi was shot during an attack while driving for a ride-hailing service. The injury left him blind and struggling with depression. Although they had not been speaking at the time, Anu returned to support him after learning about the incident. Within weeks, Anu proposed marriage, saying her decision was based on the man she knew and the future they could build together, not pity. They had a small court wedding and have since built a family, businesses and a content-creation career while learning to navigate marriage, parenthood and disability together.

Their story shows how plans can change suddenly, while commitment can still make room for a different future.

Love is meaningful here, but the story should not make resilience sound easy after a violent attack and sight loss.

Couples facing major changes may benefit from honest conversations about care, finances, independence, and the future they are rebuilding.
