Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another      was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael,        for a new life. They found out that the new baby was going to be a girl, and every day Michael sang to his        in Mommy’s tummy.
The days went by. The little girl got        after the birth. The doctor told the parents, “There is very        hope. Be prepared for the worst.” They had fixed up a special         in their home for the new baby, but now they        a funeral.
Michael kept begging his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to        to her,” he said. If he didn’t see sister now, he might never see her      . She dressed him in an oversized suit and marched him into ICU, but the head nurse        him as a child and shouted. “Get the kid out of here now! No children are      .” The mother rose up strong, and the        mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse’s face. “He is not leaving      he sings to his sister!” Karen towed Michael to his sister’s bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant         the battle to live, and he began to sing. In the pure        voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang:
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray....”
Instantly the baby girl         . The pulse rate became calm and steady.
“You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don’t take my        away.”
“The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I        I held you in my arms.....”
Michael’s little sister relaxed.
The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of God’s        !
NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. LOVE IS SO        POWERFUL.
