I am so glad that things turned out well with your team of doctors, surgeons and specialists. And as for procrastination? Well I think it's perhaps one of the worst and most infectious states that prevents billions of people from reaching their potential. Glad you got it done! Thats is a touching and beautiful story.

It was so honest, and the same honesty that I have seen in your writings. Instead of using your space to promote negativity and to tear down others, you share things that move people to look closer at the actions they take that sometimes may seem negative, but could be something much deeper. I don't agree with all of the things you write, but I do appreciate the sincerity and honesty you write them with, and especially the personal thoughts you share like this one This touched me so much.

I have an amazing mum who helped me through anything I needed help with, I am lucky to have learnt to talk as normal so I don't use signing.. I really should learn it to help any other deaf people I meet. ;) I think this experience when I was 5 probably made it easier for me to go through normal school and I never once fell behind... http://robsellen.com/2007/08/what-lesson-at-5-years-old.html I realised early that we are all unique and none of us are perfect. We may think different... http://robsellen.com/2007/08/do-i-think-different.html Like your son, we do not know any different, in that sense it seems to be our families suffer more than we do, simply through worry or similar. What is great, the fact your son has an amazing mum to guide him through life. THAT is priceless. Thanks for sharing this with us, I know you wrote this two years ago, but, as you linked in the recent post I hope you don't mind me commenting. :) Give your son a hug from me. :) Thanks. Take care, Rob Penelope,
