Hi Nancy, Its really nice to meet you. I am delighted to read a message from you. (I wonder what the logo is when we receive an e-mail and people always say, its nice to hear from you when in actuality, ya right, hear, how about reading/read!) I would love to hear/read more from you. I am in great need to learn more, so much more from adults who are deaf that have been there, that have been deaf since birth. That have experienced life being deaf like my little girl is now experiencing. Yes, if you have the time, to share, to be of support , I would so much love and greatly appreciate your life being shared with me. The more I know, the more I can understand, the more I can help my daughter live a more happier, more productive life, a more fullfilled life. (My hearts desires, besides having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as her savior.) I have so many questions. I've just found this sight. Finally. Finding it took me a long time. I live in a very rural area about 360 miles from the nearest city. The only way of commuting is by plane or barge. We have been blessed by wonderful teachers and Interperters. But nest fall is another story we have no idea yet what lays ahead. My daughter and I tried to live 360 miles away from papa for 6 months this past winter. The deaf school was absolutely wonderful. But, we all were miserable with out papa being there. ( Due to a job to support us.) So, off we moved back home to be with papa. Since then, our lives have increased abundantly. But, no Interpreter for next school year so far. (Yes, we are very well aware that there is so much more to the deaf culture then an Interpreter, oh yes. My hearts desire is for our little angel to grow up in one. But with no job, well, we make the best of what we have for right now.) So, I am preparing my home for homeschooling just incase for the coming school year. Lindsey will be in kindergarten. ): (My baby is growing up way too fast. Can't they slow down just a little, you know, like puppies and kittens too.) But, the kindergarten class she may go into is a Montessorri program. We did that last year in the city. Oh my, Lindsey loved it, it was right up her alley. But, this teacher has never worked with a deaf child before and she is rather nervous. During Lindsey's IEP, I and Lindsey's preschool teacher reassured her they will get along great, because they both love art and both are gifted and talented in art. That should be an instant bonding to my thoughts. So, just incase, I am preparing her, by helping her with class sign language charts, the aphabet, and gave the resouce teacher more info on ordering supplies. (Doesn't hurt to work with two windows open for right now, and be prepared incase one does shut.) Anyways, I really look forward to gettng to know you more, and I wold love you to have you as an advocate... I look forward to reading from you soon. Warmly, Lindsey's mama, Linda ---------- > From: Nancy Cole > To: SignWriting List > Subject: Re: Chami > Date: Thursday, June 01, 2000 4:46 PM > > Hi, > > It was wonderful hearing from you, a very positive letter!!!
