Re: married a deaf partner
any2002 - I think people who have certain disabilities have adapted themselves very well in life - to learn to live without feeling handicapped!
When I use to take my kids for swimming - I use to see this dad with two daughters (about 6 -7 years old). Both twins, but one was DEAF AND MUTE. Seriously, if anyone in the world can learn from examples this family was it!!! They were VERY confident people. They DID NOT HAVE THAT “Ashwarya Rai’s” Nervous “giggles” - to shy away or feel under confident. They used sign language.. and oh so beautifully done. All 3 would talk on without making anyone feel that one is not capable of the speaking or hearing. I totally adore the family’s take on this issue. The girls were being raised to become strong and confident. The deaf and mute girl was made to believe she can do anything in this world. Simply lovely! Believe me when that girl grows up, she WILL choose her OWN partner without being hesitant that she should even consider a “normal” guy. Actually, the guy would consider himself lucky for having such confident person in his life.
^That was serious story
This is my own story - not that my story is not serious:halo:
my hubby’s wish - to be deaf sometimes! so he does not have to hear me yap!
