We will teach our Kid sign language from start in because we figured out that it helps them to articulate early. We start with most important baby words like "drink" "sleep" "more" ... its called baby language signa but they are very very close and similar to the signs. I will keep doing this when he can speak so he will be able to communicate to not hearing people.

Im deaf myself, and this JUST restored my faith in hearing people. PLEASE do not put us in the "deaf and dumb" category. WE breathe air, eat and live just like you - except we can't hear. WE aren't broken, just one of the 5 senses that isn't working. Thank you!

Today my 91 yr old neighbour came crying to me because his dear dog suddenly died and he asked me to help him. I ran to little Jack who had no pulse but was warm and tried to resuscitate him to no avail. We cried so much together. It was heartbreaking. But he thanked me for trying. I honestly tried my best. Sorry if this upsets anyone. :(

The thing that breaks my heart is looking at so many kind people and knowing they are the ones that western society often writes off, a "bad a*s" teenager, an overweight black woman working as a server in a diner, the elderly, an Iranian school teacher, a "creepy" guy with long hair...but there they are, living their life and being kind.
