learning something new

last evening one of my closes friends, his daughter, his Girlfriend(who celebrated a birthday last night Happy Birthday) and her kids and myself all got together to celebrate my buddy's girlfriend's birthday. the celebration was incredible, but even better was the fact that my buddy's girlfriend is a Sign Language teacher and can communicate very well. it was a incredible and moving experience for me to see upclose. i admire the ability to take on a challenge that requires a whole new level of communication and the way it can impact and touch lives. i only know a little bit about sign language, but after last night i want to explore more. i feel it has a rhythm and feel all of it's own and is truly amazing and all of the people that were there last night to celebrate and also communicate left a lasting impression on me.
