Dagfinn Enerly (50) and his wife Mona (45) have been together for over 25 years. When Dagfinn was paralyzed, his greatest fear was that he would leave her. But Mona didn’t even think about it.
Dagfinn and Mona met in the fall of 1993. Dagfinn was the assistant coach of the Grei women’s team in Oslo. Mona plays on the team. Dagfinn who was 20 years old at that time really liked Mona. Mona was only 16 years old at this time. It writes VG.
Dagfinn mustered up the courage and asked Mona to go to the movies. But Mona says no. He was heartbroken and not ready for a new relationship. But Dagfinn didn’t give up. As Christmas approached, he wondered if she would join him buying Christmas presents. And he wants. And before Christmas came, the two were together.
“My room had a window facing the street, I sat and looked out and waited for Dagfinn to come visit. I still remember the pleasure and the tingling in my stomach. And thinking about it, I am just as in love with him today. He was the love of my life, and my best friend,” Mona told VG.
But then Mona’s family had to move. Mona doesn’t want to leave her boyfriend, and they agree that Mona can stay with Dagfinn and his parents. They lived together there since Mona was 16 to 18 years old. Then they rented an apartment and moved into it. In 2000, they married, and three years later twin girls Mia and Amanda were born.
Tragic accident
But 2005 changed the little family’s life. On Saturday October 29, 2005, Dagfinn fell to the ground during a football game against Start. Found a broken neck and paralysis. The first time after the accident, Dagfinn couldn’t help but move his eyelids. Dagfinn said that he was afraid that Mona would take his daughter with him and leave him.
“The moment I understood that she wanted to go this far with me I will never forget. The way she stood all this time I am so grateful. I would not be anywhere near where I am today without Mona. We have seen marriages in similar circumstances that failed. However, we grew closer to each other. Mona is a teenage love that will last a lifetime,” said Dagfinn.
Dagfinn regularly updates his account on Instagram, and it’s not hard to see that his wife and family mean a lot to him.
Dagfinn and Mona have been married for 23 years now.
On Instagram, Dagfinn wrote:
“Congratulations on your wedding anniversary❤️ Lålu is the best in the world❤️”
Last year, Enerly appeared on the “Må på båningen” podcast with Morten Ramm. When asked how it felt to be paralyzed, he replied:
– Life is good, that is. I quickly learned that if I was grumpy and grumpy, the people around me were grumpy and grumpy too. If I am cheerful and happy, the people around me are also cheerful and happy. It’s ten times more fun.
– I’ll go again
It’s been 17 years since that fatal accident. But Dagfinn was one hundred percent sure; he will go again. His goal had remained the same since the accident occurred, and he believed he would succeed.
– It is moving forward, but slowly, he said in an interview with ABC News.
At the same time, he revealed that his dream is to play soccer again. If only for a few minutes.
– I’m sure one day these legs will be used again. I haven’t given up. My dream is to play football again for two minutes.
The former footballer known and loved for his irrepressible temper said he has tasted no bitterness since the fateful accident.
