Spook on Squidoo

Giant

Lvl 65 Contact

I lost all my hearing at 18 years old and my country very soon after that. Such is life. Squidoo has provided me with a voice to tell some stories about my life for which I'm thankful. Have also won nineteen purple stars and a Squidoo sunshine award,(I didn't chose them myself ye know), all from such small beginnings.
