Who Am I?

Tuvia Shlomo born 1958, Rehovot, Israel

My father and mother were both deaf and mute. I don’t start with this statement in hopes of accumulating pity. I begin with this because the foundation of my life was built on this fact. Growing up, I didn’t really understand my parent’s disabilities. I envied all the other kids who could simply sit and talk with their dad and mom. Why can’t I? Why is my life different?
