I could sympathize with this story being I lost my hearing recenttly, essentially got a cochlear implant almost a year after the loss. It's hard and sad at times going from the hearing world to complete silence all the things you miss hearing like a lover, friend or family member's voice. However, it was great that he eventually opened his mind and heart to the world again. Thank You so very much for this story it made me cry first and my day second. Thank You Thank You.
