It’s my daughter’s birthday today. Called her up earlier, she was on leave from work. Funny how one feels about our kids’ birthdays. I remember the time I gave birth to her after staying in the hospital for more than a month. Almost on my 7th month, I had pre-eclampsia so I had to be confined at the hospital. During my 8th month, my OB Gyne decided to induce the birth since there was a fifty-fifty chance for us both to survive. She weighed 3.9 lbs. when she was born and was left at the hospital more than a month after. We took her home when she was about 4.1 lbs.
Feeling nostalgic remembering that day we were gifted with a tiny baby. God is so good. It’s been 35 years.
How special!

May God bless your tiny miracle baby, who grew to be a wonderful woman. I pray he guards each step she treads into her new year and allows an abundance of joyous smiles with a shortage of tears. May she be showered in appreciation and love knowing she wove her way into your heart the very first moment you saw her, smelled her, caressed her velvety skin. Now that she is a mother too, may she feel the depth of love that encompasses her each and every day! Happy Birthday Nissa! May God continue to enrich your journey with beautiful souls and people of great depth.

You are deeply welcome, my dear friend. Children are a parent’s greatest blessing and, at times, greatest sorrow. I thank God your daughter has grown doubly strong and vibrant even if it were at the cost of your tears upon her early in her life. Your love has grown doubly with little Nate. What a wonder it is to see God’s love shown so clearly in one’s life. God Bless.
