Miracles Do Exist
Sheila: What a wonderful story. I guess we all have experienced similar situations within our own families. My sister (lives in Mexico) has an Autistic child. He's an adorable 8 yrs old, his name's Alex. He's been diagnosed with severe autism. All of us in our family constantly pray for a miracle, I tell my sister to never give up and to continue providing Alex with whatever he might need to help him deal with this disease. My sister and her husband have another daughter _ Annette, she's 14 yrs. old and first in her class,-smart cookie. They help each other a lot and both are in good hands with a Family Counselor who's been helping them to deal with this ordeal. The Miracle already took place in my sister's household, after a definite diagnosis of Alex's austism, my brother-in-law stopped drinking, (a habit my sister detested). He does not even drink non-alcoholic beverages.
We're concerned that he might become an alcoholic after hearing such devasting news, to the contrary he's cured himself. Now..talk about Miracles, I know they do exist and happen to Good People Like You and my Sister.
I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's ex?husband, some men for some reason are unable to cope with stressful situations, but after reading Jasmine's story, it's his lose to not be able to witness his daughter Miracle!!
Congratulations to your daughter! When is she graduating from Nursing school. Please let us know.
You are a super MOM and a TERRIFIC GRANDMA!!!
