When my mom was pregnant with me the doctor told her that I was dead and demanded that she abort me. She refused and the doctor threw the clipboard at her and told her to go to he**. My dad was in the room and witnessed this.
My mom was so sick the whole nine months that she weighed 35 pounds less the morning before she had me then before she got pregnant. My dad drove once a week to the doctor's office so they could feed her by iv because she could not hold very much food down. My dad's own mom would not buy a baby gift because she was convinced that my mom had a tumor growing in her belly. But 56 years ago today, she gave birth to me. My dad said that when they put me in the nursery at the hospital, the doctor took me out and carried me down the hall telling everyone who he saw that I was a living miracle. I did not hear this story until I was about 12 and heard my parents telling a family that was visiting. At the time, I felt unloved and useless like many 12 year old girls do, but when I heard how my family were thankful that I was born, I felt blessed.
My mom told me that God had assured her that I would be born healthy and God did just that. I weighed 5lbs 5 oz. I thank God that He loved me even before I was born and that He protected me ever before I took my first breath.
