15th Birthday

Posted by girlie on August 28, 2008

It’s my daughter’s 15th birthday. How time flies. I still remember vividly the day we brought her to the hospital a week after she was born. Her navel got infected, apparently the people in the hospital did not cut it well. The pedia in the neighborhood didn’t help either, we hired her to clean it since we were so scared to touch it. We didn’t know that it got infected actually, because it looked ok. it was aggravated more by the way the doctor handled it. She got hospitalized for more than a week. She was allergic to the medicines given her, it was a difficult time for us. She actually nearly died, we even had her baptized in the hospital. But look at her now, how she has grown to be a very fine young lady. A very good girl at that. I love how our relationship is going. She treats me like a friend but respects me at the same time as her mother. I am very happy that she’s starting to share everything with me. I always tell her that I am here to guide her. So far so good, and I’d like to thank her for trusting me with everything that has been going on in her life.

And you know what she asked for her birthday? A purity ring. I am so happy that she still has her values intact. At such an early age, she is already aware of the things that she should refrain from. I pray that the Lord will continue to give her the grace, strength and the intelligence to keep her going. I thank the Lord for having you in my life Ish. I love you very much.
