Dumbstruck

I don't want this to be negative at all because this is wonderful for this little girl, but watching this video is a little overwhelming. This little girl was a very good friend of Miss Kat's in Utah. She was in her class from 3 years old and up. This WAS Miss Kat. This is what her life would have looked like if she had not gotten a CI and if we had never moved to her oral school.

It isn't that this young woman can't communicate, or that it is bad that she signs, it is just that watching her...it is so shocking how different Kat's life looks.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
