Jodie Means Grace of God: Week six at home.... A light in the tunnel

My Face may be different, but my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry, and I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you, to teach you to love
As God in the heavens, looks down from above
To Him I am no different, His love know no bounds
Its those here among you, in cities and towns
That judge me by standards that man has imparted
But this family I have chosen will help me get started
For I'm one of the children, so special and few
That came here to learn the same lessons as you
That love is acceptance it must come from the heart
We all have the same purpose, though not the same start
The Lord gave me life, to live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do but at my own pace

Week six at home.... A light in the tunnel

Thank you Lord... God gave me more and more strenght every day, I slept for about 2 hours in 24 hours and in the mornings when my day started, I prayed, "Lord, thank you for giving us another day with our baby, thank you for letting her breathe". Jodie was now drinking 25mls every two hours and I gave her 55 through the tube. Well, at least she is now drinking, we will remove the tube as soon as she hits 80mls! It took me six weeks to teach her how to drink, but we are not there yet.
