My Buddy Monrovia Scarlet Scout Prinz

There are many people in this world that I love. I love them for all sorts of reasons. Because they are family, because they are a friend to me, or because I just think they are the CAT'S pajamas. Nothing compares to my adoration for my niece Monrovia scarlett scout Prinz. April 13th 2008 (the day after) was the first day that I met this amazing little girl. RoRo was born with profound hearing loss a
difficult pill to take for anyone being brought into this world. My Sister and my Brother in law were hit so hard with the fresh news upon the days and months following her birth that they really didn't know what to do. I remember the anguish that I dealt with the day my sister told me what the Doctors revealed to them. Why her, why my sister, what have they done to deserve this? Monrovia has been through a lot in her lifetime. She deals with more Dr. visits and travel time to her AWESOME school http://www.deafkidstalk.org/site/
than anyone can imagine. However; every day she is learning something new and is motivating not just me, but everyone that meets her! Monrovia has been such a bright spot in my gloomy and dreary 09-10. I try to tell myself if RoRo can do it, then I can get myself through the difficult situations, while hopefully making a few people smile. When Monrovia was born, I gave my sister a cd with U2 songs made into beautiful lullabies.

I was so sad and mad at the same time, that she was not able to hear our favorite band. However, by the grace of GOD, and tons of hard work, Monrovia with her cochlear implants (http://goodbuthard.blogspot.com/2008/09/for-instance.html) is now able to hear everything around her. And one day, she will know the effects that she has had on everyone around her during the first two years of her life. Thank you buddy for your inspiration, you are very uplifting to me :)
