Your post about your daughter has given me an even stronger bond with my faith. You both were being held in the strong hands of the Lord. Our daughter had a severe case of spinal meningitis at age 18 months. She had low fever that morning and she was holding onto her ears. I took her to the pediatrician (not our regular doctor…he was out of town)…and he diagnosed her with yet another ear infection. I came back home and put her down for a nap. Within thirty minutes, our son was seven years old and he ran into the kitchen to say that the baby was not moving…I took her temperature and she had 106 degree fever. We rushed to the hospital and she was right on the very verge of a coma. She was in the hospital for two weeks and she had some resulting learning problems…such as deciphering sounds and reading comprehension until she was about to enter middle school. With help from many prayers…I am sure…she suddenly became an honor roll student. A miracle. She finished her BA with honors and has completed her M.Ed in Elementary Counseling at TCU. Amazing. My husband and I are so thankful. Just wanted to tell you our story…because both of our families have been blessed!
Oh thank you for sharing the miracle about your daughter! Yes, the Lord is good. We have to trust Him even in the middle of our miseries and never doubt Him. Every time, He carries us through and made us stronger. I’ve walked through miracle after miracle. Yes, both your family and my family have been blessed!! xx
Yes, no joy greater than being a mother! I want to give her all of myself, take all of her problem, do everything for her. But on the other hand, have to stand aside and watch her grow! Happy Women’s Day to you, Meenakshi!
Miriam, that photograph of your daughter is precious. I think parents are made from a different mould. They are the kindest and most loving people on earth.
Yes, it’s true. I remember when my daughter was sick. I wanted so much to take her sickness rather than seeing her so helpless! Thank you for your comment!
Beautiful poem and such precious photos. Got a little choked up reading about your experience…brought back some of my own memories…the worry, the birth, the first moments. Every baby is such a gift, and your story is wonderful. Thanks for posting.
No prob, but check this out, not wanting to divulge my ignorance I looked it up, and they tried to hand me “version”. Got a place in Europe with the name “servion”. Funny haha.
Hi Elaine, I can hear the bird singing. Purple is my favorite color. You start out my day so cheerfully. Yes, I was so grateful for my baby to make it!
Awe….I LOVED your poem!!! How sweet she was so tiny and now look at her! It’s amazing how time flies! Everyday I try to remember and absorb my daughter’s every moment because time is so precious. 🙂
