To my son:
You have brought
me so much joy in the last 16 years. Your spunkiness and strong will have both
inspired me and drove me crazy! I joke that you have given me all my gray
hairs. Your determination is inspiring. You have always had a smile and charm
and way about you that lights up a room and draws people to you.
Your hearing loss
is only one part of you. It hasn’t stopped you from being a great athlete or a
great student. Most importantly, your hearing loss hasn’t gotten in the way for
being the kind-hearted, caring person you are. You are created perfectly and
God has created a perfect plan for your life; your hearing loss is a perfect
part of his plans for you!
Although you have
challenges because of your hearing loss, it has also taught you and me so much.
It has allowed me to have more empathy and understanding for other parents and
people. I have met some awesome kids,
parents and families because of your hearing loss. And the same is true for
your father, your brother and your sister.
Thank you for blessing us and loving
us the way we love you, Caleb!
