The night before, I found a strap that could be attached to a phone or a camera and put it on my phone. I set the phone to silent so that it would only vibrate and I kept it in my hand all night. I woke myself up to a vibrating phone so I didn’t have to hear it to wake up. My ‘deaf for a day’ started at seven in the morning, when I woke up to my phone vibrating. I immediately put earplugs in my ears, went down the stairs to the kitchen and started to make myself some breakfast.

Then there is my son that I look into his beautiful green hazel eyes that help me keep going. My wife usually wakes up when I wake up for work, she wakes up to get her day started if we have time we eat breakfast. Usually I make a coffe for myself through out the day, I make her a cup of decaff tea. My work schedule can be hectic because sometimes we have to work through breakfast and lunch then get off really late, especially right now we’re getting supplies ready for future training in the upcoming months.
