The Hands of My Father


The Hands of My Father By Christopher Jon Heuer. Wow, that is sad that he don’t have a connect with his own father. His father rather do a farming instead his own deaf son. He is very different because his father never talks him. Some fathers do gesture with their own deaf children or other way to learn the sign or speak with their deaf children. If he works with his father, it would help to talk his father without struggle. His father loved the farming after everything. He live and breathe the farming. He is very quiet and forceful on his hobby and working.
The poem talk about disappoint in their parents. I have a fewest disappoint in small thing with my parents because I am happy to live and grow up in good family. For example, my mom always nod during I talked to my mom. I noticed it that she not responded and I asked her did you understand me? She said no. It is always happen with my mother. I was talking her talking for long time and waste the time. But It is funny memories with my mom. ☺ I hope she don’t forget the signing while I left home for college.
I looked at Christopher’s family. My life and his life were very opposite because I have a connected with my parents. They are encouraged me and talked in my language. We are very strong and respectful family.
Christopher has a father’s hand. It made me thinking that Christopher signed which his father has same hand of his son can signed. Both are similar hand and connect but his father won’t learn the signed. I have same hair and eyes with my deaf grandpa. It is skipping the DNA but I have a hand and fuzzy from my mother. I have face shape and wave hair from my father. I am happy that i can see my mother and father's in me. :) Good thing i have a connect in my family and my sister too.
