I'm sorry that I don't update this more. Half the time, I really don't know what to say. There's been so much going on in my life lately between kids and school and my health and Haley's surgery ( Read more... )

My father has had hearing aids his entire life...he was born without hearing...they didn't even catch it until he was in 2nd grade...

For the most part he can get through WITHOUT them...but when he's talking to people, and he WANTS TO LISTEN...he needs to have at least one in...

People are entirely shocked when they see this young (45) year old man wearing hearing aids...but it is something he's dealt with his whole life!...

I've asked him a lot of questions throughout the years, and I know that when he was younger he had a really difficult time dealing with the fact that he was a young man and had to wear these to hear...and they were big and obvious....and people asked a lot of questions and he was embarrassed....

The main thing for you to remember, sweetheart, is that the hearing loss DOESN'T CHANGE WHO YOU ARE!...it doesn't make you less of a person...and it doesn't mean that anyone around you will care for you any less....

I love you...and I'm here to love and support you ALWAYS!!!!

I can only imagine how difficult this transition must be for you...but think of how good you'll feel when you can hear again!!!!....

Every cloud has a silver lining...some are just harder to find than others...*hug*
