I will turn 40 years old exactly in 5 minutes now in Tianjin, China. How amazing! It is truly a miracle that I survived so far. I am grateful for mom and dad for bringing me to this wonderful world, and loved me and cared for me all along.
40 years ago, in the coldest day out of the whole year, 12/22/67, I was born in a village in Nanxing Guo, Hebei Province. It was very early in the morning around 2 am, my mom delivered me, with the help from a 19-year-old girl, who knew nothing about child birth. And I was told that I almost died then, due to insufficient air supply to my tiny lungs, mom later told me that the umbilical cord was circled my neck at least twice. At that moment of life and death, there was this well known OB doctor who happened to be right there where he was needed to save my tiny and precious life. I believe now that he was the angel sent from my Father in Heaven to save me.
Mom was a school teacher then, so she hired an elderly lady, she called " Lao Bai Mao" to care for me during the day while she was teaching. Mom told me many times that the way I looked to her with my breasts hidden and my back a little lowered, would reminded her that Lao Bai Mao would always put the tiny body of me inside her winter clothes, to keep my near her heart and keep me warm. I was so blessed with the love from God and the old lady who was my nanny in my early age.
Now, my dear mom passed on, dad is well, enjoyed his life with my sister, Hongying, in Tianjin. I miss them on my birthday. My very special day. I celebrate life, celebrate God's creation, and I sing praises to my Heavenly Father, our all Mighty God. All the glories and honor to Him, in Jesus's precious name, Amen.
