the SOUND of music

Mel is totally deaf in one ear.

Plus, he has limited hearing in the other ear, even when he uses a powerful hearing aid.

So, when the four of us went to listen to some music one night, I felt great sorrow for him.  There were smiles all around, toe-tapping, clapping, finger snapping, and ENJOYMENT.

But, Mel sat stoically - not hearing and certainly not enjoying.

I am so grateful for HEARING....

I love to crank up the music,
sing along,
belt it out,
shout it out,
listen,
join in.

MUSIC has brought great JOY to me in my lifetime.

I cannot imagine a life without it.
