Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Oh - You are so exactly right. My heart aches too... never have I seen so spent and drained than after a full day at school with the FM system (which has positional reception challenges), the interpreter and the back brace..... he must have looked a little like we must have as parents when our children were little - drained and spent to the core, and still looking for more resource to draw upon because the demands were still pressing on us.... even sometimes the people who 'get' 90% of it will knock me completely off my feet me when on occasion they miss the boat entirely....then there are the moments I realize that I have been missing the boat for some time.......but those are humbling stories for another day..... {{{hugs}}} and thank you affirming what I felt - sometimes to be met is to be made whole - without even changing the circumstances.... yuka Re: " Through Deaf Eyes " Yuka, yes yes yes - so many times I thought similar things about Kennedy - how she's in the middle of both worlds (actually more than 2 worlds). One thing that hit home particularly hard was the woman (same woman you mentioned about speaking so well but choosing not to because people " assumed " she could hear fine) - when she said she was so EXHAUSTED at the end of the day from working so hard to " hear " . I think that is Kennedy sometimes with school and they really, truly, deep down do NOT get it at school. I ache for her sometimes. L .
