OMG! I saw this article today, too! Cody posted it on his FaceBook page! :D Cody Francisco is our family's sign language teacher! Our admiration for him increases every single day! Miss Delectable, I don't know if you live in Tulsa, too, or if we've ever met at one of the silent dinners...

My heart is touched by this. I am learning how to be the mother of a deaf daughter.

I wasn't really referring to a "cure," simply to the idea that it may be helpful. Much as diet is helpful. I realize that love and acceptance are the "cure" for nearly all societal ails. I regret now that I posted this and wish I could have it removed. I apologize to you all for having...

I have the genetic autoimmune disorder celiac/sprue. (an intollerance to grains and dairy products - more than a simple allergy - these foods become deadly toxins in my body. my body's reaction to them destroys my digestive tract, blood cells, brain cells, thyroid gland, causes cancer, etc.)...

what a meaningful moment, Ron. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

not unless his luck changes! :giggle: I think he's an unsuccessful suicide. (God must still have plans for this guy!!) He could benefit from some mental health counseling.

MORE IDEAS on how to be supportive in a relationship with a deaf person: LOOK at them when you are speaking so they can read your lips. Speak naturally - not overly exaggerated. USE FACIAL EXPRESSION with everything you say. The biggest barrier to communication is NOT the difference...

I am hearing, in a relationship with my adult daughter, who is gradually going deaf. She is hard of hearing now. When she informed us that she would soon be completely deaf, our entire family made a mutual decision to learn sign language together. We love her and want to continue to...
