AWWW that is soo sweet of your mother. :)


My mom told my brother and I a few years ago that she regrets not exposing us to sign language when we were younger (in my case especially) cuz she can see how happier I am with having both languages and cultures. She realized that because my teachers and herself couldnt accept my deafness, I learned that behavior and it took me a long time in therapy to get over my bitterness and anger to finally accept my deafness. I am thankful for it but just wish I had that opportunity like u did as a child. Nothing I can do about the past so I try not to dwell on it but use my experiences to educate others. Doesnt mean they have to agree with me but hope they can take that into consideration and keep it in mind for their deaf children.
