From Love Gives Me Hope

"For years as a child, I was a selective mute.
One day, there was a new kid in my 5th grade class who was all alone all day. The next day, I carefully went up to him and started talking to him.

He was the only one I would talk to freely at the time. We've now been married 5 years. Derek, I love you."

This just struck me as especially sweet. And I think it shows that, maybe, people can possibly move past selective mutism. You know?
