HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATRINA

All my pain, hardship and tears I offer it to all of my kids, but you are a special child and you need special love that's why I gave you special care, I don't regret anything I did for you, and I will do everything again just to make your life easier. I will not stop until I hear you talk, I will not stop until I see you stand up above them all, you are DEAF but it will not make you lesser person than anybody else, moreso, it makes you special above them all. I will teach you to love, to be humble, to be true to yourself and to be thankful in any simple things in life. I will teach you the things i did not learn, you will be a better person that I am. I will teach you to love life rather than things, I will see to it that you will have the courage to face the world by yourself, the confidence inside you to face anybody and everybody.Faith in God and His love. That's all I can give you, even we are not rich in material things, but we rich in faith, love and hope.Me, Dad Kuya Kyle and Kuya Justin,will always stand by your side , to cheer you on. Even you cannot read this for now, i know someday you will read this and by that time , you will read it ALOUD. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH ANAK, God gave you to us just the way you are because you will do something great and He has plans for you. I can't wait to hear you say I LOVE YOU TOO.

Whisper in my ears

I told Katrina to whisper in my ears, play pretend she moves close to me as if saying something, no clear words yet ,bababa and mamama.

After Practicing the Ling sounds , 6 syllables to check if her implant is doing well, while she is whispering in my ears, i give words to what she is saying , i whisper back to her ear (processor) . I said, tell God you want to study now, that you will enter school on Monday, and continue in words and signing of writing , then i read stories to her using my older son language book...

Pretending that she is just like any of my siblings, not looking now but what will happen next. FAITH,,,believing in things you cannot see nor touch. Hold on to it as if it is your last breath. I say, PROVE to me once more that you are always be faithful,,,

What more can i do , but to wait and wait until it happens and it will definitely will happen!That she is no different to all of them, normal hearing child...
