On Tuesday we told you about the young deaf Seahawks fan who wrote an inspirational letter to Coleman. At the time, Coleman had not responded, but he finally wrote back, and his letter is terrific.
It reads:
Dear Miss Kovalcik,
Thanks for the letter. Really was great hearing from a friend who I have so much in common with. I apreciate (sic) you rooting for the Seahawks and me and hope you continue to do so when we play in the Superbowl!!!
I want you to know that I always try my best in everything I do and have faith in you & your twin sister too. Even though we wear hearing aids, we can still accomplish our goals & dreams! If you or your family (are) ever in Seattle, I hope we can all get together & play some sports or games!
Take Care
Derrick L. Coleman Jr.
The girls' father took to Twitter to thank Coleman for the response.
The next 10 days of Super Bowl coverage will cause many stories to become overexposed and played-out. This story won't be one of them.
