I am very proud of who you are and what you've achieved, and I feel most painfully for you at the moment; I wish I could make it all better. But all I can do is love you, look at you, and be here - always xx Love you sweetheart … I am very proud of who you are and what you’ve achieved, and I feel most painfully for you at the moment; I wish I could make it all better.

My hearing has gone downhill in the last 3 months. From having been "normal" it is now to the point that I can't understand someone if they walk out of the room and are talking to me. Particularly if there is any form of background noise. I'm scared. In fact, scared doesn't cover it. So, if you want to meet for a coffee sometime, I promise to look at you when I am talking, and I'll bring a notepad and pen if all else fails, and I can even bring a small, 19-month old hooligan to beguile (read: corrupt) your lovely girls. ;) Thanks for being so honest in your blog. I have no connections to the deaf community, and it looks like I will be a member of it in a few years if things continue in the same way they have been. This blog has made me see that being deaf means that I won't end up friendless, and alone, and be a rubbish Mum to my growing boy. You are living proof that you can seize life with everything you've got, and make a bloody good job of it too, no matter whether you can hear it or not. You're a fab Mum, with lovely kids, and so much more talent in your little finger than a lot of people have in their whole body. In short, you've proved that life as a deaf person needn't be a "deaf sentence" (to the non-hearing people reading this, the local accent where I live pronounces the /th/ sound as /f/, so death=deaf... to them anyway. ;0) ) I can understand how frustrating and how frightening it can be.
