And I feel that more than me God takes care of my kids. I have two kids with profound hearing loss. One is using cochlear implant and doing great with it other one is in the process of getting it.Samrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01223808271826420510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37382396.post-91227382607844562042010-02-10T00:11:14.881-05:002010-02-10T00:11:14.881-05:00amen. funny, too, how (for me) it comes out of now...amen. funny, too, how (for me) it comes out of nowhere sometimes- that grief rises up and the forever of it strikes.Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659817050414584581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37382396.post-42752403062075001972010-01-31T04:16:17.211-05:002010-01-31T04:16:17.211-05:00I know exactly what you mean, I think it's som...I know exactly what you mean, I think it's something that other people find hard to understand because they look at Tom and see a very articulate 5 year old who is like any other 5 year old.

When my husband shows his love for me be getting up in the middle of the night with one of our other children because I'm in the living room with the baby, I always feel a little sad for William and his future wife. I know this seems insignificant but it's always something I really appreciate.<br /><br />I also worry about that boys getting up in the middle of the night to torment someone - what if it's to torment him and he can't hear it coming?<br /><br />(not to add to your worries - I'm sure you've thought of it before)<br /><br />Don't you find it's harder to let Drew go do the things that you wouldn't give a second thought to allowing a hearing child do?CAUSE ME TO HEARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970825831755519753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37382396.post-976611091306358772010-01-29T10:39:01.872-05:002010-01-29T10:39:01.872-05:00We are ALL different, there will things that most ...We are ALL different, there will things that most boys will do and he won't and other won't either, and there will other things that he will do and many others won't have the opportunity to do. I enjoy what I have, what Luca has, the privileges we have, the wonderful people we've met because of Luca's hearing loss. I do miss things too being a non native English speaker, but I embrace who I am and enjoy what I CAN do, some things, most others CAN'T do. The important thing is that he is happy person, and of course he will have those days, but who hasn't had those days because of other reasons, like for example being shy...I've had many of those hard days as a kid, but that is the whole process of growing, maturing and becoming an adult.
