Introduction

"I thought that being deaf was such a bad thing. It affected me a lot as I grew older. I pushed people aside, people that I really care about... I couldn't find a way to tell them how I feel because they just don't understand me. My whole life I thought that I'll always be alone in this empty world. But then you came in and changed everything. You made me happier. You showed me that there was so much more to life. I willed myself to imagine a life without us. And what a worthless life that would be. I don't get tired of looking at you. I never wanted a million admirers , I only wanted one. And I got him."
