I agree with the other posts — I smiled/laughed out loud at the reminder that they would call out obruni to you But then “A child who cannot hear only lacks the ability to hear, they do not lack the capacity to learn.” made me tear up and made goosebumps pop out all over. You’re an amazing spokeswoman, and I’m glad/grateful you’ve been given the light to shine.

As usual, your post fills me with a range of emotions~ from smiles and giggles to holding back tears. Look at all you’ve been able to accomplish just because you didn’t want Leah to suffer from the education that was offered. As I look over at William, I smile, because of what he has been able to accomplish in great part due to everything you’ve done.
Thank you friend.
