I Am A Miracle

by Marie T.

I am a miracle because when my parents conceived me and my mother was carrying me in her, she was having problems. She kept going to the doctor because she was having problems in her pregnancy. The doctor told her to slow down what she had been doing and to try to take it easy and rest. But she could not because she had other children to take care of. So, in the moment, she did rest when it was possible. When she went into labor with me, it was hard for her and me. The problem got so bad, we both almost died on the delivery table, but both of us survived. Therefore, I became a miracle of life.
