I can't imagine what he (and you) went through losing hearing. <br />We take our senses for granted, which is a mistake.

(Maybe that's not the right word ... but I like how he let his craft speak for itself; and didn't want to risk looking foolish.<br /><br />On a personal note, Tom's hearing is seriously going south. Neither insurance nor the VA will subsidize hearing aids, so he's struggling ... and I'm not always as understanding as I could be.

Talented man indeed he was! I would imagine it is hard not to have one of your senses and not hearing would be difficult especially if one wants to interact with people. Hubby's dad had lost a lot of his hearing and used hearing aids but it was amazing that he would hear what he wanted to hear too sometimes :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
