God's Gift from Mama




I was told by my doctor that I was not able to have any children due to damaged and unrepairable fallopian tubes and even with that being said, I was still blessed with my beautiful miracle baby.
Remembering back, it was bitter-sweet news to hear about the death of my grandmother. She was "Mama" to everyone, but to me, was like a "second mother" to both my younger sisters and I. And with her tragic death I said goodbye to her silently and was happy to know she didn't have to suffer any longer and asked that she bless me with a child I so desperately hoped for. The following week of her passing I was pregnant! And every time I look into my baby's eyes, I see her. And as she was like a mother to me in my life, I can only hope to be just as good a mother to my daughter as she has been to me. I miss you Ma.
