But it's one that's important to share. I'm glad you published.

I think my new favorite accessory deserves it's own post. I'm thinking a roundup of sorts! I seriously have no idea how I've gone this long without it. As always M, thank you so much for all of your support. You're such a dear sweet friend and I am incredibly lucky to have you in my life.

I love the pictures! I'm totally disappointed you didn't highlight your new accessory from your visit :) I'm continuously amazed at how you handle all of this, it's very impressive and awe inspiring. As I've mention you handle it so seamlessly, it's so easy to forget you are dealing with all of it.

Also, Bono rocks the yellow-tinted lenses so if it helps you, I think you can pull them off even better than he ever has :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625993635674294934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293751994881931803.post-31240416500005386622015-11-13T09:07:39.066-08:002015-11-13T09:07:39.066-08:00Miriam, thank you so much for your note. It means...Miriam, thank you so much for your note. It means the world to me especially since one of the things I admire the most about you is your vulnerability and strength. <br /><br />I definitely think there's something to your point about finding the gift in your challenge. When this first happened Darren and I were bound together tighter than ever in a way we never were before. That was absolutely a gift. <br /><br />I've been forced to ask for help and to rely on people like I never have before. It's strengthened relationships and has absolutely given me a better sense of community. It's hard to see the silver lining sometimes but it's there!<br /><br />I've not seen Switched at Birth but I'll have to give it a try this weekend. <br /><br />Have the best day.

I admire you...Shannon, you are SUCH an inspiration. I admire your vulnerability, strength, and faith in humanity.<br />It's such a shitty care you were dealt. It's so unfair. <br /><br />I'm currently watching "Switched at birth" on Netflix, which features a deaf girl and the deaf community. It's actually really interesting, I'm addicted to the show. They talk a lot about the stages you described, which is what everyone seems to go through when something like this happens. <br />On yesterday's episode one deaf teacher says that being deaf is a gift - it allows the deaf people to experience life deeper, and gives them community everywhere they go. <br /><br />It seems crazy, seeing it that way. But maybe it's the truth? I hope and wish that you will find positive aspects about your condition. It looks like you already started. <br />Big hug, M<br /><br /> Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553429775991816622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7293751994881931803.post-66238755853296051672015-11-12T19:50:41.288-08:002015-11-12T19:50:41.288-08:00You are absolutely right Cece.

Even if I had you just don't know how you're going to deal with a challenge until you're faced with It. There are times where I wish I was handling the situation more gracefully but I don't allow myself to go there. I'm just doing the best I can.

You truly never know until it's in your lap. I am glad to hear that you are learning to cope and deal with it whatever that looks like for you on any particular day. : ) Cece @Mahogany Drivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851435478630045969noreply@blogger.com
