Quick CI moment during a very sad time in my life. Friday June 13th, I found out that one of my childhood best friends died. Her funeral was Saturday the 21st. My CI moment was during the funeral when my Aunt's pastor came in to talk about my friend. I was sitting in the middle row, so like 10 rows away from the front where he stood to talk about my friend. I understood 95% of what he was saying despite him not being anywhere near close to me and not having ever spoken to him before. It shocked me, so it didn't help that I cried even more, 1st because of my friend, obivously, 2nd was because of how well I understood and 3rd- my friend will never get to see me as a CI'er. She would've been sooo excited & proud for me. Plus she would get to have my old hearing aids. She had a thing for hearing aids. [It's an inside joke between us]
