SMILING

BY RYAN HUGHES

My name is Ryan Hughes and I can’t believe I am writing my own blog. About 15 months ago I was at a showing of the documentary, Spellers, and I met Judy. It was the moment that changed my life. I have gone from living in a hell of loneliness to smiling as I sit here writing my own blog. I can’t stop smiling when I am here at Mouth to Hand.

Normal Ryan

I walk into M2H and suddenly am less disabled. Today, for example, the personal greeting I had from Judy transformed me into a normal guy. I love that feeling - that I really am just a regular person. I want absolutely everyone to see me as Judy does. Almost all my interactions outside of M2H are with people who can only see my disability. Talking with our hands separates us from the norm. 

Happily, I get to experience what it feels like to be regular. I feel that every minute here. I am lucky my Mom is a beast and totally revamped my life for me. No daycare for me!
