Things like this remind me to not take the little things for granted. Sitting with my 9 month old daughter I always get a kick out of her expressions when we "talk", but I don't always think about how special that moment is.

Very, very, very nice! Thanks for posting that.

I have a friend who was recently on a mission fitting kids with free hearing aids. He got to experience that in person and it affected him deeply. You see something like this and realize how blessed you are and how much you take things for granted.

Just showed this to my husband (he's never seen it) and he got all teary eyed too. It's amazing what modern science & medicine can do nowadays.

I used to think this when my son was a small boy too. He was 4 when I went blind. It's been 10 yrs since I've seen his face. I'd give anything to be able to see him once again.
