Believe...

Believe..a strong word in my mind.

believe, faith, hope, courage...

all amazing words to live by.

I would not say I am a religious fanatic.

But I do know I BELIEVE....

raised Catholic, went to a Catholic School

(sane enough to laugh at the skits & jokes)

We had Dominican Nuns & Priests,

but lucky enough they were open minded,

so "Believing" is what got me through ....

the deaths of my siblings,

my parents divorce,

the constant comparison to my sisters,

an abusive husband,

the death of my marriage,

the loss of my long time job......

BELIEVING is Strength !

believing gave me a loving daughter,

who wanted a sibling so bad

at age 7 she tried to convince me

to adopt because we had enough Love.

believing helped me give birth to my son

I was told by multiple doctors

I would never have.

believing gave me enough strength

to work multiple jobs to support my family.

believing gave me an incredibly strong

granddaughter through the miracle

of adoption.

believing is what is getting me through the

wait for another precious granddaughter.
