Hidden Blessings

The journey we started with Evan has brought with it hidden treasures... the opportunity to meet amazing families and individuals who have been touched by silence. I got a phone call last night from someone who's little girl is following right behind us in their journey. It's so reassuring to be reminded that we aren't alone and that this is not a horrible thing! Right away when we found out about Evan's hearing loss we got a lot of apologies..."I'm sorry," is what you say about things like this. Well I'm not sorry anymore. Yes it is unfortunate, but it's the way God made him and guess what... we have already begun to find Joy in this! Not only Joy in the amazing little boy he already is, but Joy in the journey itself! Through the journey we have already made new friends in cyber world and locally. I am uncovering hidden blessing each day on this journey and am thankful. I can't wait to see where this will take us and look forward to meeting many more people in hopes that we can help each other and find joy in our children's silence!
