Sometimes when it comes to Taylor and her voice I feel like I’m always trying to explain it in some way to someone.
For a long time I just wanted to stay at home when her voice was bad and she could barely talk. I got tired of thinking of new things to say or tired of continually saying the same stuff over and over. I don’t go into detail with strangers who say “oh boy it’s sounds like she has is losing her voice.” I usually just smile and say “Yep.” Or “What happened to your voice little one?”
I think I might of been a little embarrassed about it in a way. I mean what were people thinking when they hear her speak? Do they think that I am mean and let her scream so much that she lost her voice? Then I realized this is not about me at all it’s about her. If I keep her sheltered from the world then she wont flourish and grow.
I’m a very private, keep to myself kind of person especially when it comes to my children. So I bet your wondering why then would I be posting this about my daughter for the whole wide world to read. I came to the conclusion that it is a part of my daughter whether I like it or not and I need to accept it and celebrate her. Not fear over what others are thinking about her or me for that matter because she doesn’t have voice at times. I am very proud of my daughter who is bright and beautiful even without a voice. I’m embracing her differences instead of hiding them.
So I’m not explaining any more to you passer byers and why should I. This is my daughter and this is her voice. If you have a problem with it then it’s your problem not ours. If you want to stare at her go right ahead she is beautiful. And I’m going to raise her to be a strong take no shit from anyone kind of women.
