When they say, “We didn’t want to worry you.”

Written By Stephanie Todd

Part of the Micro-Stories series – everyday truths of Deaf identity and access.


Soft, muted photograph of a quiet waiting area. One person sits slightly turned away, hands resting together, while blurred figures stand in the background. The space feels still, as if something important has already happened elsewhere.

Everything had already changed.

They had time.

 

You didn’t.

 

Barriers don’t always crash down. Sometimes, they arrive in silence.
