I haven't blogged in so long because I'm at a loss for words. I received an email last week from a woman saying that I was killing the deaf culture with my decision to implant Rhyan. It had a very threatening tone and, quite honestly, I've been too angry to respond in a calm manner.

The bridge will never be completed between the two sides with the hate, disrespect and lack of compassion that I was exposed to. I will do whatever is in my power to have a calm, loving and open-minded debate with anyone regarding the deaf culture. But, from this point forward, I will not subject myself to that type of filth. Rhyan is my child. That's all that needs to be said.
