The saddest thing I have ever had told to me was when I was about 14 and my sister who is now about 95% deaf told me that even though everyone she knows is aware of the fact that eventually she will go entirely deaf, I am the only person who has ever bothered to attempt to learn sign language.
I dropped off a lot but now I've made a promise to myself to learn it by the end of 2012.
Wish me luck!
