surrounded by my family and my husband at the hospital, I<br />
welcomed my first child; a daughter who I named Justine. The<br />
Lord had been exceedingly gracious to me. Just holding that<br />
precious life in my hands brought a surge of emotions that<br />
almost overwhelmed me. From the time I met Patrick, I had lived<br />
my life on tenterhooks. My father-in-law had hunted me down<br />
and was looking for my children. We were broke, as deprived as<br />
anyone could get. We did not know where the next meal would<br />
come from. For a pregnant woman not to be sure of her next<br />
meal is unthinkable. However, in all those trials, God did grant<br />
me a pregnancy free of complications and crowned it with a<br />
natural birth. I was elated, to say the least. It was more than I<br />
could be grateful for. I did have something to be thankful for<br />
after all.<br />
