The Day i lost my voice

I woke up today to my mom telling me to wake up,and when i opened my mouth to say im awake,i couldnt speak!!
All i could do was barely whisper,i had to go to mom n sign to her that i couldnt speak,what followed was a bunch of questions from her,but no matter how much i tried,all i could do was hiss,whatever i try to say,i couldnt say it,it was so frustrating that i started to cry ,out of helplessness.Mom saw my condition and reassured me and told me to do warm saline gargling,following which she gave me peppered milk and hot dosas,thanks to which my voice is recovered,not completely,its still hoarse and squeaky,buy atleast i can communicate and express myself..
That got me thinking bout how we take some things for granted,and never give a thought to it until we lose it.. We are all blessed with so many things but we never value them unless we lose them.. Maybe its time to appreciate all those things we should be thankful for.. Our vision, voice ,hearing,taste smell,in short our five senses,our limbs which are perfectly funtional,and to all of us in democratic countries,our freedom of speech,and to be who you are and to do what you want..cheers!!!
