That made sense, too, and it was something I would try to remember. Saying the words as I signed them. Regan had all kinds of ideas for me to learn and I appreciated them all and I hoped I could actually come through with something that would make it a little easier for her to speak with me. Writing was fine, we were able to communicate, but it took a lot longer than it would if I were able to sign like she could.

They'll have to hire someone at the Home who knows sign language, won't they? I wrote. It wouldn't be safe if she couldn't communicate with any of the workers. Do any of them know it already?
