The spoken word is not as much of an issue in my house since we all know and use sign language. What I would do is sing to my children. For some reason, they love their mommy’s horribly off-key singing — find it comforting, even!

So glad we can be friends and learn…together!

Wow Tim, what a powerful story. So glad you let your mom feel your love. Though you’re not sure about your dad, I have no doubt he felt your presence and all the love you had for him.

Thanks for sharing your heart with us.

Phil. I’m humbled that anything I would write would inspire you. You also inspire me, in many ways. I appreciate the opportunity I’ve had to get to know you.

If this was the last chance I had to communicate with you, I’d say: I’m proud of you for doing what many people dream of, but never have the courage to do. I’m greatful for your friendship and inspired by your passion and optimism. I’d also give you a great big giant hug… because that’s how I roll.

We have been in that situation where my husband couldn’t talk for close to 9 months while he was on a ventilator. It was hard because there was so much he wanted to say and that was a wake up call for us. Now a day doesn’t go by where we don’t express ourselves to the people around us and tell them how much we really love, appreciate and respect them.
