I wouldn't consider myself very religious, but I have always had faith. This story is about the birth of my daughter. I am a single mother and was alone for the most part of my pregnancy and was very emotional and lonely. My pregnancy was deemed to be high-risk, as I was supposed to be unable to get pregnant, a card-reader told me before I got pregnant, that in 15 months time I would have a daughter, and that this was a gift from my stepfather to say that he was sorry and that he loved me; she even knew his name. So you could understand the joy I felt when I found out I was going to be a "mommy".

Anyhow, I had a very difficult pregnancy and cried everyday for the last three weeks, just wanting my body back. My doctor decided to induce me and I was in labour for three days. I was terrified and thrilled all at the same time. My daughter would be born today!! It was time, I felt that my body was ready to bring this child into the world. And while I was in the process of delivering my daughter, I was praying to the Virgin Mary to keep her safe, asking heaven and Jesus to give me the strength & to help me with this task at hand. And when she came into this world, a bright light of love surrounded me, Jesus, an angel, or maybe God himself was there with us. And I knew from that very moment, that there is something out there that is bigger than ourselves; that loves and cherishes us more than you can fathom. There was something there in that room with us, I believe that as much as I believe that the sun will rise tomorrow. Now I truly believe and not a night goes by that I don't say a prayer thanking the heavens for the wonderful gift of my daughter.
