This piece is special to me....ten years ago, I was struck blind suddenly - my life was thrown into instant turmoil. I was told I had an illness that would slowly take my life. The blindness was a symptom....
I had my daughter then - she was only six - recently divorced and scared. My dear grandparents took me in and cared for me, along with my mom....
It's a long story -- but nevertheless, it ended with a REAL miracle that no doctor could explain. My eyesight was suddenly restored and doctors were dumbfounded....I saw God enter their world of science - something they had trouble grasping. Here I am ten years later, re-married to my husband,with four children....with 20/20 vision.
(By the way, doctors told my husband he couldn't have children - after lots of tests -- they said we would not even be candidates for IVF if we believed in that....)

If anyone wants to know the whole story - feel free to note me and I can maybe give you some glimmer of hope in what might seem to be a hopeless situation. Never doubt! Always believe...

I learned a lot thru that experience....I had been blind moreso before - blind to the little things that life gives us in the smallest of moments.
It took me losing my literal eyesight to see that...

Sending you all of my love...
