About this listen
Sound is an abstract concept for most people. We spend our lives blocking out the static in order to focus on what we believe is important. But what if, when the clarity fades into silence, it's the obscure background noise that you would give anything to hold on to?
I've always been a fighter. With parents who barely managed to stay out of jail and two little brothers who narrowly avoided foster care, I became skilled at dodging the punches life threw at me. Growing up, I didn't have anything I could call my own, but from the moment I met Eliza Reynolds, she was always mine. I became utterly addicted to her and the escape from reality we provided each other. Throughout the years, she had boyfriends and I had girlfriends, but there wasn't a single night that I didn't hear her voice.
You see, meeting the love of my life at age 13 was never part of my plan. However, neither was gradually going deaf at the age of 21.
They both happened anyway.
Now, I'm on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.
Fighting for my career.
Fighting the impending silence.
Fighting for her.
Every night, just before falling asleep, she sighs as a final conscious breath leaves her.
I think that's the sound I'll miss the most.

good story but I had my reservations
it was a good story that portrayed loyalty struggle love and pride. although the theme didn't run deep it was a comfortable and gentle way to approach a disability.
I struggled with Ms Jennings narration though. she had a great voice for the child of Eliza but as she grew her voice and tones remained the same. it kept me constantly reminding myself that they were now 21 or 22 yr old adults. like I said
her voice I felt kept the story light and comfortable but box I g is a dangerous cut throat world and it was difficult to mesh her voice with the possible dark side of the sport .
Don't know if I want to read Flints story Is i need a bit more depth and grit. wondering if I'll get sweet sentiment or semi hard core. this disability I feel is more tragic than Tills.
