Mother Warriors

This lady's name is Monica. She is a mother of two and her story was on the Oprah show today (God bless the person who invented TiVo). Monica suffered a severe infection after her c-section from her second baby. The doctors had to remove major organs, including both arms and legs! She endured over 40+ surgeries. I immediately started tearing up after they showed her in the hospital after her amputations. I was so moved by her spirit and her will to quickly recover and return home to take care of her newborn and older daughters. It's stories like this that puts my life and my complaints and stresses into perspective. When I learned I was pregnant with twins I completely freaked out. But people reminded me that God does not give what you can not handle. So true. Even though being pregnant with my girls was very painful and exhausting. At least my body was able to carry them up to six weeks of my due date and both me and my babies were and are healthy. It was very scary when my water broke and I had to have an emergency c-section but God was looking out for all of us.

I will pray for Monica and her family. I look up to her and the strength of all mother warriors out there who will stop at nothing for their children.
