Just got back to this. My mother and my father both learned to sign decently, my brother did not learn sign but both of his sons did, and I am in the process of teaching their babies sign now. My husband was learning, but did not have time to become fluent prior to his death. As my parents, my parents-in-law, my brother, and my husband are all dead, my nephews and their children are mine and my son's only remaining extended family. That is another reason the the connection tothe deaf community ha been valuabe for my son.
