Profound

As many of you know, thanks to the internet, I have been able to run across other families with deaf children. Sometimes I feel the need to post their stories here as most of them are so much more well written than anything I could write.

Many of you have read the story of Little M. A beautiful girl from Cali who is profoundly deaf and has since gotten a cochlear implant. I follow her mom's blog and like to see how Little M is progressing.

Today, what Little M's mom brought tears to my eyes. She recounts the story of finding out Little M was deaf. This story would touch anybody who read it, however as a mother to deaf child, this opened the floodgate of emotions and memories. Her mother writes her story so beautifully that I would like to share it here.

Little M's Story

On June 2nd we make another attempt at finding out if Troy is a canidate for cochlear impants or not. If so, we can move forward and hopefully have his implants by late summer/early fall. If not, there is really no other alternatives. Our family will enroll in sign classes and we will move forward on step at a time.

I {heart} Faces!

Every week, I {heart} Faces holds a photography contest.

There is no real prize except the glory and praise of knowing your picture won.

Last week's contest was "laughter" and I wanted to join, however I submitted my picture too late.

This week's I {heart} Faces photography contest is "My favorite face picture"

No, it's not your eyes. This picture is a tad bit out of focus, but I love it too much to get rid of it!

No, I have not figured out how to make the little hearts - so, until I learn, I will use {heart} as my version!

Tarred and Feathered?

Nope!

Dearest blog...

Dearest blog,

No I have not forgotten you. Nor have I forgotten my readers. I am in a major blogging slump. With spring now here we have been super busy with different events and I have very little time to sit in front of my computer (except here at work).

I promise I will try my best to start updating you again.

Love always,
Shelley
