Thoughts About Judy

Let’s get real: we love Judy so much. Using repeated, rote phrases doesn’t say enough.  Let me repeat that rote phrases might not really express my love. When I love someone a lot I really want them to know, because then they will know how much they mean to me. It’s not only that Judy taught me to spell or that she always believed in me. It’s that she so totally loves me, in spite of my disability. 

Saturday night we had the annual dance for all us M2Hers. The highlight was dancing with Judy. Outside of the gala, the dance is the best night of the year. I’m feeling particularly protective of Judy this week because things have been tough lately. Really there is no one in my life who gets we nonspeakers more than her.
