Growing up my neighbors were both deaf from birth and they were able to talk well enough for a child to understand without problems. I was friends with their son and a few times went with their family to gatherings at their friends' houses where the vast majority of attendees were also deaf.

I haven't thought about this for a lomg long time and now I need to reflect on how that helped shape me into the person I became.

I regret not learning ASL from them when I probably could have.
