I’ve been mute since I was born. And now, this is the time where I really wish more than anything else that I was able to talk.

Why me? What did I do to deserve this? I have 2 young children at home. They need me. I can’t leave them. But I will. In a few months. At least, that’s what the doctors said to me. It’s already hard being a mute mom. Especially when they need me the most. They’re too young to lose a parent. They’re too innocent.

I’m glad one of my children didn’t get this news, but they need a mother. What if they never get to experience the things that others do with their moms? What if they never get to say, “my mom told me….”

I can’t bear it. I’m going to have to tell them soon. I’ll have to write them a letter.
