Chapter One

Tomorrow night is our first night to learning ASL. I am excited but also so nervous I could puke. There’s so much to learn besides a whole different language. For example do you send your child to an all deaf school or do you send them to public school where it will be hard to make friends and exceptions have to be put in place to ensure your child has the best chance to learn the material. Also how do they get to school, who would be able to baby sit, what if’s just cloud my mind. Then sometimes I still feel sad and blame myself. Surely I could have done something different while pregnant. Not one person on either side of our family have hearing loss so where did this come from? Athough, I look into my daughters eyes and know that this has happened for a reason and we will be a better family for it. She is just such a blessing to be around and I wouldn’t trade this gift of a child for anything. So onto our next adventure, may God bless this new adventure and may the people in it be a blessing and kind….
