Parenthood

For nine years, me and my husband waited and longed for a child. For thrice, I had a delicate pregnancy that led to miscarriages. I almost lost hope when the doctor said that I can no longer bear a child. Instead of being frustrated, I held on to my faith in God. Aside from praying so hard, we did everything and exerted effort to make our intention to have a child be possible.

We asked for help from some medical professionals and also followed our elders in their beliefs. I even attended Novenas and offered dozens of eggs to Saint Claire who is a saint granting those couples who find it hard to have a child. We also gave some donations and other offerings to grant our request.

Finally, after long years of waiting, we were given a special blessing and grace from above. After too many expectations, I gave birth to a very cute and adorable baby that we all considered a miracle one. Up to this moment, I claim her as the greatest gift that God has given to me. I will be forever thankful and praise him for the rest of my life.
