Mille being deaf

I’m looking at my mother. Her mouth is moving, but I can’t hear a thing. Silence, nothing but silence. I have no idea what she wants to tell me, and I can’t answer her anything back. She is a beautiful sight, she really is. But not being able to hear her words that hurt me. I walk away from her without saying a thing. My phone is suddenly vibrating in my hand. But I can’t hear my ringtone. That special song. That special song I used to love so much. But I can’t hear a thing. Silence, nothing but silence. My parents’ voices and the songs I love, I’m not able to hear anymore. The sounds that once brought so much happiness into my life is just silent now. I walk outside. The sun is shining and the wind is blowing. But I can’t hear the leaves on the trees swaying against the wood. I can’t hear the birds singing and I can’t hear our car coming into our driveway and my father saying hallo. My parents used to tell me they loved me. They used to bring such comfort into my life, when I was falling apart. Words from them was the only thing, that could make me feel okay again. But what will happen now, when I’m not able to hear those loving words? Will I be okay?
