One foot in front of the other

It's been awhile since I've posted anything and that's mostly because I've had to face with one ordeal after another. When you're born hearing impaired, the silence you are comfortable with and it's everyone else who has the problem. You don't realize until you start growing that you actual are different from everyone else. If you're lucky enough to have therapists and teachers who believe in you, you begin to try to conform because you think you will live a normal life. Its not until you get older that you stop feeling like something is wrong with you and when people don't give you a chance you realize it's something wrong with them.

My hearing loss is not a curse, it is such a blessing. I don't want no one laying hands on me to convince God to change me. I don't want an implant in my head to change me. I'm just fine with me! Two of my three children have a confirm loss and I'm teaching them the great strength that lies within them. It's my prayer they won't suffer low self morales and take a long time to know their true power. I love my hearing aids!!! I thank God for creating the technology that helps so many people!!!

As I face each new day, I'm optimistic that all that I am and because of whose I am, my Children, children, children will live to tell of our family legacy.
