AWWW,l i’m glad I was able to help make your day. And yes with my disabilities and when I’m going through I try my best to stay happy and stay positive. Because my mom always told me there’s a light at the end of a rainbow. And my two sisters were always told me growing up life is what you make it. So I choose to not let my deaf-blindMailing List, I also have some brain damage from my birth mom and been fighting with these lymph nodes throughout my body for the last year and a half two years. With two surgeries to remove each one from each armpit in a years time. And just staying happy. Because I refuse to sit and wallow in my disabilities and in my illness. I’d like to try to give out positive attitude if it’s here or on Facebook to help or who’s going through a hard time. I believe in my heart that this is my calling.

Lots of love always 
Ineko

My mother used to tell me "when they promised you that life was a bed of roses they didn't promise that there wouldn't be any thorns." It's another way of saying "Want a little chees with that wine?"

If I wouldn’t had her there I think in my heart or I know the phone call would’ve never happened. So just to let you know if you ever call me or MARION ever calls me and I don’t answer that means my girlfriend is not with me and then I’m not ignoring you. Oh and Mary I did put your phone number my phone. I think when I really try to remember your number I remember the last four digits wrong. Because a few months ago when I text you and you didn’t answer oh I think I put MERRY’s phone number wrong trying to remember it. But since I seen it in an email to me I did put it under your name and deleted the other number that was wrong.

So that’s why I wasn’t on the zoom calls. When I’m on a zoom calls I tell her and she makes arrangements to be here with me she also ride the city bus. She cannot drive because she has some health problems that prevent her from driving. But she gets around on the city bus really really good.

>> Thank you so very much joy. My mom taught us girls to never ever take what you have lately. Growing up my middle sister had a very bad speech problem but she overcame it and now you can never tail she had it. And they taught me that just because I’m deaf blind that I shouldn’t sit around and have things handed to me. So I do as much as I can I myself and if I feel I can’t do it then I ask for help. And I love my girlfriend. And I love my interpreters they go with me to the doctors. I even have to fight my daughters to give me a tactile sign language interpreter. Because they told me I could just watch the video screen and I told him I cannot see it I need a tactile sign language interpreter because without it we will be here eight hours. And I said it’s ADA law they passed 30 years ago. And a lot of them agrees with oh now even during this pandemic I have my certified tactile sign language interpreters. Even my girlfriend that’s not certified but she does know sign language because her mom and dad was born deaf. And if my girlfriend can’t help me when we’re out and about then I asked my sister if they don’t mind helping me. And they don’t mind because we help each other.A lot of people tell me that if they was in my position they would be scared to leave the house I even used to the A lot of people tell me that if they was in my position they would be scared to leave the house I even used to work with people at Marriott waterside they would tell me if they woke up deaf-blindMailing List just sit home and collect a check.Are used to work with volunteer services at the VA in building 38 with a high risk patients but since the coronavirus hit Tampa they told me I’m so sorry we have to close down part of building 38 but we will let you know when you can come back and I have a feeling that a beer maybe sometime next year. I lost two of my veterans since the coronavirus One because he got COVID-19 and the other from loneliness. And I said that’s because they miss coming to the USO room to see me and I said the other one that could’ve been avoided with the cove it 19. And I cried because those are my patients for three years and a half.

I will say that I applaud you for getting out and doing things rather than sitting on your butt. Too often people take the easy way out by having people do for them and on behalf of them. They  are the ones who suffer in the end.

>>>> I just want everyone to know. If you ever call me on my cell phone. I am not alone. I have my girlfriend she knows sign language. So when I have it on speaker she will be with me doing sign language. No she’s not A certified interpreter. No no but her mom and dad‘s death. They was born deaf. So she is skilled in sign language but she doesn’t have her interpreter license she’s not certified. Like for instants today when I was on the phone on Marion transfer Center getting on the route seven and waiting for the route seven I had the phone on Speaker and my girlfriend met me at Walgreens and rode with me downtown to get on the bus seven. And as I was waiting for the driver to come back my girlfriend was there with me so when I got a phone call I had it on speaker even while we was on the bus and why there was talking on the other and she was signing in my hand to me at the same time and she can sign as fast as a person can talk. If I was alone and you would call me on the phone I would never answer the phone. Not without my girlfriend. She’s going to stay with me until Saturday morning because she wants me to braid her hair. I’m going to take mine out tonight wash it. Braid hers in the morning and then when I’m done I will braid mine a few hours after. Yes we are both African-American.

So if I don’t answer it’s because my girlfriend is not with me at the time for me to be on the phone. And she can sign as fast as a person can talk. And the last couple of meetings I wasn’t at the meeting because she wasn’t here because a family emergency.
