I didn’t know if she cried a little longer when I was asleep and my husband had to wake me up..
I didn’t know if I heard her coos for the very first time..
Because at all such times my mom and hubby had to tell me that my daughter is making these sounds.
I even don’t know when she grows up, if she’s gonna be proud of me or not. but I am proud of her even today. I don’t know if I will be like other moms. Doing things like other moms do. Coordinating on telephone fluently. Or understand things at the first go.
But the way she looks at me and gives her glorious smile, I forget for a while I can’t hear her completely.
My daughter 💟DHUN💟 has a special mom. Who will learn motherhood a step behind.. Half a step.
When I was 4 years old, I got struck with malaria and lost my hearing capacity upto 90 percent. Wearing hearing aids and moving forward in life taught me many things. Out of which 2 things that come at top are – Empathy and Gratitude.
I do communicate by lipreading. And half of the words I speak wrong but people close to me understand me very well. I have tried my best to overcome my problem by being alert at all times so that I can make up for my minuses. Luckily I have had the best support system with me in my journey, the best souls in my friends and family.
I am really lucky I have best supportive parents.. Hubby is the bestest I could ever get. Ours is a love marriage.
There are some people who have looked down at me but at the same time I have had so many good souls who love me so much and keep on encouraging me.
If it’s about repaying them, I would never be able to. And yes I am not exaggerating..but it’s true in every sense.
Lastly I would like to say that Life is never fair. but we have to be fair for our own selves.
With baby Dhun i learnt so many things about unconditional love also from my parents.
