Examples Of The Unexpected Miracle

The Unexpected Miracle Sometimes life decides to be generous and without warning it gave me a beautiful gift. It was the birth of my baby brother. Now, of course most people will probably think, what’s so special? It is just another sibling? But, this little guy changed my life before he was even born.

There were also lots of mood swings and she wasn’t feeling well a lot of the times. For as long as I can remember my mom has been ill; she also had kidney transplantation.
