Losses ...You have amazing insight and perspective. Losses should be mourned, for only then can we appreciate what we gain - or what we have left. My degenerative MD will "only" cause loss of muscle, not loss of the capacity to love. But it's still a process. We are all still learning, and grieving is so much a part of that. ♥ccbzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932805045471695734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-5092496785639988412010-03-09T20:13:08.009-05:002010-03-09T20:13:08.009-05:00It's not the end of the world, but somehow los...It's not the end of the world, but somehow losing something (rather than never having had it in the first place) has its own pain. My son will never hear the ocean again, low tones being gone to him. I have the hardest time wrapping my brain around that loss, insignificant as it may be in the big scheme of things. I get what you mean. I really do.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714611053885993657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-11505873659720544932010-03-09T19:54:16.580-05:002010-03-09T19:54:16.580-05:00Esbee, your post was beautiful and spoke exactly t...Esbee, your post was beautiful and spoke exactly to what I am feeling. I know it's not the end of the world. In fact, I'm about to bring home another child who is profoundly deaf. I have never heard his voice and never will, but I don't love him any less.<br /><br />I guess it's just because I have heard Ashley's voice. She worked so very hard to be able to say those few words, and now they are being taken away from her.<br /><br />Dayla, what a wonderful idea. Thank you so much. I am going to do that tomorrow...Ashley's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621835327282616218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-60677613644887257162010-03-09T18:50:53.078-05:002010-03-09T18:50:53.078-05:00what if you asked Chip to go out with ashley, as h...what if you asked Chip to go out with ashley, as him to help her pick a card for mothers day, one she can record so you can have her voice forever??<br /><br />deafDalyaaDalyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-71871533933188291192010-03-09T15:32:58.699-05:002010-03-09T15:32:58.699-05:00I wrote this post when I was told my oldest son...I wrote <a href="http://lifeinforsyth.blogspot.com/2007/02/can-you-hear-me-now.html" rel="nofollow">this post</a> when I was told my oldest son's hearing loss was progressive.<br /><br />I'm sorry you're going through it.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714611053885993657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-75705836608589264152010-03-09T13:01:17.802-05:002010-03-09T13:01:17.802-05:00My Blue Jay being on the autistic spectrum, I wait...My Blue Jay being on the autistic spectrum, I waited a long time to hear "I love you".
