An inscription on the back

Born with a hearing impairment.

A time where as my mother nor doctors knew if my hearing would further develop.

My mom and I would play a game. I'd sit upon her lap as she silently mouthed words. I'd attempt to guess what she said.

One time she silently mouthed..

"I love you".

My best 8 year old guess however:

"Alligator food".

Time heals us as it passes. I grew up, graduated college, joined the military; perfect hearing an all.

The day I was to deploy my mom gave me a watch. I think of her each time I put it on and read the inscription on the back:

"Alligator Food Forever".
