I'm experiencing one of those life lessons that makes you appreciate what you have. Or used to have. In my case, its my voice. Usually when I lose my voice I cough a bit and its back within half an hour or so. I haven't been able to speak much for about 24 hours, and since this morning I've only been able to whisper. Not even squeak, except when I cough or try to clear my throat. Josh always laughs at me when I do this. It does sound rather ridiculous.
I'm so grateful I didn't start feeling sick until after my grandma's funeral on Monday. Which was amazing, incredible, beautiful, etc. I was able to visit with family. I was able to sing with my cousins and our children in her honor. Joey and I practiced the songs for a couple days leading up to it so she'd be ready, and she loved it so much she still wants me to sing those 3 songs with her everyday. Her disappointment this morning when I could barely whisper that I couldn't because I had no voice was almost unbearable for me. She still looks at me funny when I try to talk to her, I think its freaking her out a bit. :)
I want to be able to speak and sing again. I want to laugh at my goofy children and husband. Until then, I wish Josh knew sign language or Kaela was around! Haha

I'm sorry for you and jealous all at the same time :) I have never once lost my voice! I have tried several times and still nothing. I had always wanted to. Don't know why :) I think though now having a toddler it would be bad not to be able to speak.
I'm glad it didn't happen until after the funeral for you- especially with practicing so much with Joey. I lost my voice the day before the funeral. I'm so glad my sister was able to sing my song with me. I didn't put much effort into the everybody songs, but I was there for them.
You're just going to have to teach Josh some simple signs.
