For those of you who dont know Wilfred and I i'll explain. When Wilfred was two days before his fifth birthday he found his daddy dead in bed....... It has taken a long time and a lot of heartache tears and support from friends family and Winstons Wish to get us where we are today. Wilfred is profoundly deaf and has additional difficulties as well. He attends the Royal School for Deaf Children in Margate.
This evening just as i was going out to watch my friends children in their school play the phone rang. i was slightly alarmed as it was the personal classroom number for his teacher. She told me not to panic when i answered. She told me that See Hear the programme for deaf people had been filming Wilfreds class today to do with signing books for deaf children. The book that was read was The Gruffalo and afterwards the children were asked what they thought of the book.
Wilfred was asked if it was a book he would read with his Daddy and Mummy. He replied that he didnt have a Daddy, that his Daddy had died but that he would read it with his Mummy.
His teacher said he was brilliant didnt get upset and flustered. I of course burst into tears when she told me and ended up crying on my neighbours shoulder at school. She was lovely and said that Wilfred did have a Daddy just that he wasnt with him and was watching him from nearby. I am so very proud of him tonight................
