Miracles Do Happen

There are alot of emotions going on today as today marks the one year anniversary that one of my best friends Miranda, suffered her AFE (Amniotic Fluid Embolism- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amniotic_fluid_embolism). On one hand I am so excited to celebrate Van's first birthday, however it is so difficult to not go back to that day a year ago.

April 9, 2008 was a day of mourning in the midst of celebration. There was cause for celebration of the arrival of Baby Van, but of course seemingly at the expense of his Mom, Miranda.

The next several days were terrifyingly treacherous as we awaited the news of what Miranda's future was to be, if she had any at all. The pain that I experienced that day was not a selfish pain of possibly losing my best friend, it was a pain for her husband Bryce and her parents Bob and Star. My responsibility was to do the best I could in taking care of Bryce during those awful days. Miranda woke up from her coma and I believe that God breathed his breathe into her body again. I experienced a miracle in front of my face. Her body will of course never be the same, with all sorts of complications, but her mind and spirit were saved. Most women who live have major neurological damage.

When I started typing this I wasn't sure were it was going to go and not sure what else to say except that God still performs miracles and I was a witness to one a year ago today. I am so grateful that he loved Bryce, Miranda and Van so much that he brought her body back to life. I love you 3 so much and will forever be here.

This is a song that I sang over Miranda while in a coma and in my car back and forth to the hospital countless times. I hope it blesses you as much as it brings tears and healing to my heart.
