What would it be like?

Today i was riding in the car with my dad and he has lost his voice because he is not feeling well. As he was making sign language today i suddenly thought what would it be like for me to suddenly lose one of my senses? I take hearing, smelling, tasting, seeing, and feeling for granted everyday. What if one day i woke up and i didn't have one of these senses...what would life be like? What would i miss the most? Which one would be the most difficult to live without? I know if i lost my hearing i would miss all the beautiful sounds in the world. The voice of my love, my parents, music, children laughing, rain falling on my windows, singing to myself. I know if i lost seeing i would miss seeing the man i love and my family and my little brother. I would miss seeing my favorite color blue and ever sunset i love to watch at night. I know i would miss seeing children and making them happy and flowers blooming and the leaves changing. I know if i lost my sense of tasting i would miss drinking dr. pepper, milk, cookies, cheese, pickles, and all the strange foods i love. I know if i woke up not being able to feel anything that i could not touch the ones i love. I could not feel the face or hands of my loved ones. I am so blessed to have all my senses. I do not know if i could live without any knowing how wonderful they are. I especially could not live without seeing the faces of my family and loved ones

Out of all the sense receptors the visual receptor is the greatest.. u can go without hearing or taste buds but it is so difficult to live with out seeing..try to live without hearing one day and with out sight one day and see the difference..u wont be able to take care of u..u wont be able to go to bathroom and u wont be able to go out of room wont find ur sleepers or anything and u would be truly dependent on others.. u would need pity of someone to help u cross the road.. so i think if god has to leave only one of 5 senses in me it has to be sight.. eyes..yes i would want it only if i have to choose

Our senses are underrated. We don't realize how important it is to see, feel, hear...of course we would miss it all. It makes our life complete. I wouldn't like to eat food without a taste. I also like to see the sun, blue sky and faces of those who I love the most. Then I just love to listen to music or feel someone's touch on my hand. It's just these things are part of our everyday life so we take it like something completely normal.

i think the hardest one of my senses it would be my ability to see because i would not c the happy warm smile of the ones i love and care about but i will be able to hear there beautyful voice that i known all my life and u can still hear ppl but u cant c where ur going but on the plus side it does improve your other senses to near super human levels like hearing. well thats all i have to say bye hope u injoyed my comment matthew (15) bye
