,

Thank you for sharing with me and most of all thank you for

communicating with . July can't get here fast enough for me. I

believe it's going to be life changing for when he meets you

guys. had many friends in high school but it's the same as you

say. They seem to have vanished from his life since graduation.

did really well in school. He was mainstreamed in the hearing schools

and got c'c and mostly B's but when he got to Scranton School for the

Deaf he had more one on one help and made Honor Roll almost all the

way through high school. He had two different girls who liked him in

school and went to Prom every year but he hasn't heard from them

since school either.

There are deaf staff who work at his house now. Through them

stays active in all the Pa State Deaf Association activities. He has

lots of people around him all the time but doesn't seem to have any

real close relationships. I think that's going to change now since he

has met you, Chip and the others he's emailing with.

Thank you for sharing with .

> Hey

> Yeah, I noticed that my old friendships with D/HH people has

vaporized! Before, I tried to be friends with them in elementary but

we don't seem to fit perfectly. I think we fit like 30% perfectly,

lol. Middle school made them grow up TREMEDOUSLY, leaving me FAR FAR

behind. Since that was the case, I focused on trying to make friends

with kids at school. I now have 2. I would have a 3rd but.....I never

really advanced relationships past aquaintances back then cuz I

didn't know how, and I would befriend another girl at my school and

hang out but she has a bf who looks very strong. Since I don't really

want to be on the buisness end of his fists......I decided to back

off, LOL. Also, she and I aren't that compatible. Throughout my life

I had been making a few friends outside of school. Now, I have 5

really good friends outside of school, compared to 1 really good

friend and 1 good friend at school. I would keep typing more, but my

mom and Chip got it covered. And I can't type, my hands aren't doing

what I want them to do lol
