this computer had crashed three times on me just at the point when I am about to finish... grrrr... but I retype it anyway! because this is important!
My deepest sympathy for you
I don't have a son that might be diagnosed with DM, so I am really in no position to tell you how to feel and how to react.
however, I do know a friend. a very special friend of mine, whom I love dearly. she was born hearing but lost the ability at early age. and she suffered many evil deeds of other people, and attempted to committe suicide (got evacuated in hospital) however, she lived on. none of what happened had been fair, yet, she lived on. she
chose to battle life, she
chose to live. I am always touched by that revolting and unyielding spirit
I also know a child who was born without ears, as well as his hearing. However, his father is very strong in faith. his father believed that he
WILL make his child hear, and he
WILL make his child strong so that he can live a life of his own. he'd repeat this idea over and over in his mind whenever he went to bed, and he'd tell him that as the first thing in the moring, and he'd repeat his faith over and over during the day.
until one day, he accidentally discovered that his child can bonehear. from that point of his life, he spent hours and hours just to put his lips on his child's neck, and talk to him. he'd tell his child how much he loves him, and how proud he is to be his father. most importantly, he'd tell his child that he can live a life just like everyone else, and he'd tell his child that he
WILL hear. this strong faith had ignited such a desire in the young boy: that is to live and to fight
one day, the boy had gone on his own to his first business. he sold the cans he had saved and trade them with newspaper. then he went to his neighbours and sold the newspaper at a higher price. that night, he slept soundly with the 2 dollars he earned tightly cluntched in his hands. his mother saw it, and she cried uncontrolably, and his father laughed wholeheartily. for he knew that he had created something great in the boy's heart, he planted something so strong that cannot be torn apart even by the cruelty of fate. He KNEW that his boy would live strong and enjoy his life. (it is true, his son discovered a hearing device at age of 21 and was able to hear again. the son became that company's employee and worked and made a great name for himself)
