Did you hear me...I'm Candice but you can call me Candy, what's your name?" a tear rolls down my cheek taking any bit of joy I had down with it. "Oh my gosh! are you all right?" I motion with my hands to explain my condition "Oh you can't speak?" I nodded. "Oh I am so sorry, I didn't know! I wish there was something I could do." She put her arm around me and I weeped.
