I want to believe in miracles

How does it feel like to have found someone whom you’ve spend your entire life searching for and one day, you wake up and find her lying on a hospital bed hooked on a ventilator?


If there is a God out there, how can He be so cruel and let this happen when there are so many evil, inhumane beings out there who are alive and well?


Where is the justice in all these?


Yesterday at 4-something in the evening the doctor told my cousin to be prepared as her daughter might not make it through the next 24 hours. I just don’t understand how someone can be brain dead and yet when you talk to her, her heart beats a little faster and tears can roll down her face.


It’s now more than 24 hours – perhaps she is waiting for her boyfriend to be there by her side, to kiss her and wake her up from her sound sleep.


Ange, remember the day your daddy left and how sad you, your mommy and brothers were? Your mommy needs you to be here. She’s lost your daddy already and she can’t afford to lose you. You are a fighter since you were a baby so please be strong, hang on in there and don’t you ever give up.


Prove the doctors wrong.


They may think that they are smarter than the rest of us and at times, they might actually be insightful but bear in mind that doctors are only humans, just like us.


And prone to making mistakes, just like us.


They are not and will never be Gods.
